What is a 'patch that is waiting for approval'? Is it a patch which is referenced in https://source.winehq.org/patches/ ? What happens if the patch is rejected? (or drops off the list) Should the patch keyword be removed? What if the patch is in wine-staging?
Another question: should the patch be attached to the bug or is it sufficient to provide a link to a mailing list post?
I'm leaning towards the former in which case the definition could be amended as such: | Bugs with this keyword contain an attachment with a proposed fix. | The fix may be incomplete, break other applications or be otherwise | unacceptable as long as it does fix the symptoms described in the | bug and is not a pure workaround (such as altering Wine's behavior | based on the executable filename, replacing an implemented function | with a stub, etc.).
