A comment from a committer or contributor should be sufficient to explain why something has not been committed, fixed or whatever, and what action might next be needed. The scarcest resource is committers. So we want to be able to focus their activities. "Patch Available" is a call to action. If something "needs clarification", then the reporter of the issue should be able to determine that from the comments and care enough to do so.
I wonder if there is a way to automate things in regards to helping the committers. For instance, can we plug in a patch validator that checks that the patch applies to head cleanly, contains one or more tests that all pass (whether the tests are valid is another story) and possibly meets some other criteria that we determine and then updates the workflow that the patch is "clean"?
Also, I wonder if there is a way to get people to vote more on issues that are important. I wonder if most users are aware of the voting mechanism.
