Normally you first click 'Edit' or 'Details' in the table with the
patches to change the status. On GNOME bugzilla you can do that from
show_bug.cgi which IMO is 10x better UI.
I understood it as:
 * initially: change status in e.g. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=36779&action=edit
 * eventually: show_bug.cgi (great) or attachment.cgi (sucks)

I'll try and verify, but it wouldn't be acceptable to have a Bz without
a patch status.
