Yup. Makes sense, and I suspected something like that. Thanks for the edu.

To clarify: I asked about report filing. And a statement saying "report was
filed" is quite anonymized/generic.

I agree that Special Orders are *very* different. Even listing their title
could be Badness. I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole.

"No report was submitted" ... I think that isn't clear. Most PMCs don't
submit reports each month. The real message is "A report was expected, but
not submitted". *hand-wave* in nicer messaging.

"Minutes awaiting approval to be posted" doesn't show the connection to the
report. Something like "Report filed, but display is awaiting the approval
of the Board minutes"

Agreed. I sent an email thinking the same: "hey! should be easy!" ... heh.

I'll let y'all mess around and ponder on the problem, and file a ticket in
a couple days or so for any gap in my feature request.

Thanks!
