I'm wondering if "decision needed" might be more accurately named "triage needed"?

Looking at David's well documented proposals and other mail comments, "triage needed" more specifically describes the 'state'.

A few thoughts:

1. "Triage needed" would raise the importance and visibility of the triage contributor role. A positive for onboarding and growing development talent.

2. "Triage needed" is more descriptive and clearer than "decision needed" especially for those users that do not read documentation or understand the development workflow. "Decision needed" implies that a decision will be made to include or not include in a release. Realistically, decisions are made throughout the remainder of the development process based on time, resources, etc.

Thanks,
Carol

    Given this, it would be quite practical to simply change 'stage' list
    from its current value to what I propose for the new state.  That
    means
    it would look like this:

            - no selection -        (that is: new)
            information needed
            decision needed
            patch needed
            review needed
            patch update needed
            commit review needed
            resolved
