leaving just 'Rejected' and 'Replaced' to be disambiguated.

'X' or 'Z' for "Rejected"?  Looks like a perfect start for a bikeshed
discussion. :-)

Are there Unicode codepoints for smilies? I'm thinking of :-) for
'Accepted' and :-( for 'Rejected'. :-)

U+2639 WHITE FROWNING FACE
U+263A WHITE SMILING FACE

Also, U+2694 CROSSED SWORDS for "vehement discussion on mailing list", U+2696 SCALES for "BDFL is considering", and U+2678 BLACK UNIVERSAL RECYCLING SYMBOL for "proposal previously rejected is being re-proposed due to changed circumstances".

For code don't forget great math operator symbols like U+2264 LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO and U+222A UNION. But I doubt if anybody would want to bake in an absolute requirement for Unicode support in order to be able to read or write Python code.
