'Pending' patches state

Hello,

http://source.winehq.org/patches has the following legend for the Pending
patch status:

Pending	
* The patch is not obviously correct at first glance. Making a more
convincing argument, preferably in the form of a test case, may help.
* Waiting for feedback from the main developer in that area.

It's very confusing, and absolutely not clear what is required from the
patch submitter, especially since *there is no any feedback on the patch*.
'Rejected' at least requies some sort of feedback, while 'Pending' doesn't.
To me 'Pending' looks like a silent case of 'Reject', but without any
obligation to explain why.

I find myself on somewhat shaky ground when I see a bunch of my patches
in the pending state, especially if they already contain the tests and
main developer in the area I'm changing is Alexandre :).

Is it possible to get at least some feedback for pending patches? Pretty
please?
