Perhaps we should have two new statuses: "rough patch available" and
"polished patch available" ?

The other thing i would like to see tracked better is the distinction
between issues that unit tests attached and issues that do not ... this is
somewhat orthoginal to patch availablity ... sometimes people submit
patches containing new functionality without writing unit tests for it,
othertimes people identify bugs and suply tests deomonstrating the bug
without being able to suggest a patch to fix the problem -- both of these
cases should be distinguishable from what i would consider as "vauge" bug
reports or feature requests that describe a problem (or feature) without
any concrete demonstration of the issue.

"Patch Available" is shorthand for, "Patch that is thought to be ready for commit, properly formatted, great javadoc, includes unit tests, etc.". The point of this status is to give committers a single place to look to review patches and either commit them or explain why they're not yet ready for commit. The list of issues in this state should generally remain very small.
