I have to test my patch against a good representation of the issue, regression tests must pass, 'automated test needed' fits well :) Go with "Unit test needed" so it's short and to the point and you have a deal. =)

I don't think a real name change is necessary, the help from clicking on 'Stage' says it. Your explanation at https://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dg7fctr4_51cbt2vktw makes it crystal clear.

Also, I've realized just now that 'Status: pending' covers both my 'will close unless someone objects' and 'cannot tell if this ancient bug on a antediluvian platform still exists' rather well. So I'll be setting such issues as pending from now on.

I'll try to find a way to display the help tips inline, perhaps on selection or hover (has to be unobtrusive). That would be helpful for stages, components and versions (I think users should know that 2.5 is in security-fix-only mode and that feature requests need latest version + 1).

Status report and roadmap to be posted later today, before date +%s turns 1234567890 :)
