Revise and Resubmit

How about "Needs work"? I find "resubmit" a confusing word as commit and submit are often used interchangeably.

Just "Revise" would be ok with me, but I wanted to draw more of a distinction from "Commit with Changes". "Revise and Repost" maybe, since we usually speak of "posting" a patch, rather than "submitting" it? Or just "Post a New Patch".


Commit with Changes (probably this should only be used when the patch submitter is a commiter)
Commit



Anyway, to make any changes like this, we'll have to work around some of the technical limitations of bugzilla. A number of us have experience hacking bugzilla, so this is totally feasible. If there were an open source bug tracker that met our needs much better, to the point that transition costs would be lower than hacking bugzilla, then we could consider it. But that depends on having a concrete alternative that is actually better.

I forgot to mention - there should probably be a final "Checked In" state. I think that would help smooth out the workflow when people attach multiple patches to a single bug. It seems more clear than unflagging.

Cheers,
Maciej
