Hello, I would like to see “unit test needed” removed from the workflow menu in the bug tracker. The reason is that we don't do test-driven development (or, at least, most of us don't) and this stage entry is therefore useless and confusing. Saying to someone that an unit test is needed happens during the patch review - it isn't a separate stage in itself.

Is that stage supposed to (at least partly) capture the idea 'reproducible test-case needed', or 'verification needed'? That would seem like a more useful notion.
