Hi all,

I believe it only makes sense to have a 'merge', 'MFC', or
'some_more_fitting_name' state.  In fact I had already
promised Doug to add such a state when I upgraded GNATs
on freefall to 3.104beta (which I should be finished
polishing later on this weekend).

How would a new state be any different than defining the
'suspended' state as one that means: 'a [PATCH] is present
and is only awaiting a committer to be closed'?  I don't
think it would be avert any attention from a potential
committer, but would rather hilight why the PR still
remains in the database.

An even easier fix than adding a new state would be to
redefine the current 'pending' state to mean: 'committed
to -current and if nobody yells real loudly it will be
MFC real soon now'.  We did it once, will it work again? :)

Steve
