The most significant change is the addition of the "patched" state, and the ensuing disambiguation of the "feedback" state. I would also like to encourage the use of the "analyzed" state where appropriate. Adding the "patched" state will require modifying the web search form and script, and doing a sweep to move "feedback" PRs to "patched" where appropriate. I will also create and publish a state diagram documenting the different states and the recommended transitions from one to the other.
