Please Please Please :)

I've always wanted that to be a status, since it is a distinct stage
in a bugs life cycle (distinct from assigned imo, although others
disagree. In my opinion assigned means currently working on, and patch
in gerrit means already worked on and awaiting review by somebody
else)
