I see what you're saying Daniele, I had to ask about the terminology only a 
couple of weeks ago. Hopefully I can provide some clarity.

Ready For Check-in means that someone other than the author has reviewed 
the patch and believes it is ready to be merged. However, the patch must 
also be reviewed by a core team member before it can be merged. So really, 
you need context for the Ready For Check-in status. If a core contributor 
marked it as such, it really is ready to be merged. Otherwise, it still 
needs reviewing.

If a core contributor believes a patch can be merged though, they could 
just push the big green button. I *think* the status is only really useful 
for signalling to the core team that the patch should be reviewed. Even 
though the name is somewhat confusing, I don't think there is a need to 
change it. The person changing the status to RFC believes the patch is 
ready, but a core member can change it back after review. The name should 
be consistent though.
