I'm marking patches in meta-oe with 'Upstream-status: Unknown' as default instead of 'Pending' to make it a bit clearer. And patches marked 'inappropriate' won't go in, it's 'rejected', 'unknown' or 'needs work' in those cases. I'm not going to guess what upstream might think of it, since I can't speak for them.

there I have seen 'Pending' and 'Submitted' and 'Accepted' which may
be not best wording but explains the status of where the patch is.
Here I think Pending means Pending submission. Umknown would be too
vague.

Yes.
