Let's move discussion to -devel.  And the answer is "no".

I do not want to require that the patch meister, much less Patchy,
understand the difference between various types of Patch-review
items.  Patch-review should mean "no known problems, and it can go
on a countdown".

I'm ok with having two "non-review, non-new" types if you want,
although I don't see the point of introducing that much
granularity.  We could have Patch-discuss vs. Patch-needs_work.

No.  dev/staging means "merge and push ASAC" (as soon as
convenient).  It should only contain patches that have completed a
countdown, and/or patches that the author wishes to skip the
review process.
