Raymond Hettinger noticed on the tracker that there are different interpretations of the “accepted” resolution:

It’s more useful to follow Raymond’s meaning, so that a simple query can find all accepted patches that are awaiting commit. I don’t remember if I took up this use from R. David Murray or someone else, so I thought I’d redirect the message to python-dev so that all triagers can see it. Forward to python-list as you see fit, I’m not subscribed there.

'twasn't me, I figured the resolution field was only for resolved bugs. I did notice a number of people using for accepted feature requests or 'valid bugs', or sometimes patches accepted in principle that were nonetheless not quite complete.

Clearly (some) people would like a toggle that indicates such a status :)
