Personally I also prefer nudges to gates. Just like people already deprioritize "Waiting on Author" entries a bit, having an obvious "Patch Needs Work" note might gently help newcomers iterate on their first submissions (or even communicate where a patch is in the lifecycle! e.g. a Bugfix entry where the patch is marked incomplete might motivate someone to jump in to fix it). --Jacob
