I think there might be a higher number of work-in-progress patches
these days, which represent ongoing collaborative efforts, and are not
expected to be committed soon, but are registered to attract the
attention of humans and robots. Perhaps if there were a separate
status for that, it would be clearer. Or perhaps they don't belong in
the "commit" fest.
