Similar to Antoine, I find it ambiguous whether a bug without a patch is in “unit test needed” or "patch needed" stage. 2. I much prefer a small script reproducing the bug to a regression suite patch. In most cases unit tests require too much irrelevant scaffolding to be useful in understanding or debugging the issue. I remember there was an idea somewhere to replace "patch" tag with a check-list with boxes for code, tests, and docs. I think that would be better than "unit test needed" stage.
