It means feedback is required. Feedback can take many forms. Not all 
bugs are patch submissions requiring (only) approval from a maintainer.

Take for example, a bug report without a patch. maintainer-feedback? is 
set when issue is created. The maintainer comes back with 'i can 
reproduce the problem' and sets maintainer-feedback + (feedback 
provided). Triage sets need-patch keyword requesting a patch to fix the 
issue and sets maintainer-feedback? again, feedback this time being in 
the form of a patch.

> Then maybe work-in-progress? As in, the maintainer is working on the fix.

This doesn't cover feedback of forms that don't involve work/patches, 
the vast majority, and this is already covered by needs-patch keyword in 
any case.

Again, if there's any way to improve the maintainer-feedback flag name 
to not mean 'approval' (as thats not what its for), I'd been keen to 
hear ideas.
