Hello,

the ongoing patch review revealed that we need more clear markers for
patches which should be upstreamed but where upstream is defunct. Existing
docs[1] suggest:

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [no upstream]

but that is problematic due to perception of 'Inappropriate' patches
as something that shouldn't be looked at unless it causes rebase conflicts [2].

So the suggestion is to use

Upstream-Status: Inactive-Upstream

Thanks,

Alex
