Makes sense. But it is difficult to know that when working only in
bugzilla. A tooltip could be displayed for each status. But the fact
that a tooltip is needed is a warning sign that the status should have a
better name (or the status should just be used in its first meaning,
i.e. "reviewed" just means that the patch was reviewed, nothing more).

In the article the statuses are "review-" and "feedback+". Obviously
with the + sign it's directly more positive.

"feedback-given" is better than "needs-work" and "rejected". But if
"reviewed" is used in its first meaning, what is the difference between
"feedback-given" and "reviewed"? Maybe "feedback-given" is slightly more
positive, so we can just keep "feedback-given" and remove the others
(reviewed, needs-work, rejected).
