Thanks for your input.  This is going to take some time to completely
flesh out but adding a "stating status" could be a start.  We will still
need in investigate in due course, but is worth looking into.

Fair point. Information is discussed in various forms and that
is great, and bugzilla will miss this information. At end of the day,
each staging patchset should be associated with a bugzilla
issue.  So, *anybody* looking at a patchset can get an idea of what
application was affected and how.
