Yeah, makes sense.

Hmm, "forgotten by author" seems to generally turn into "this has been
in WOA state a long time".  Not sure we have a problem representing
that, only with a process for eventually retiring such entries.
Your other three examples all sound like "needs senior developer
attention", which could be a helpful state that's distinct from "ready
for committer".  It's definitely not the same as "Unclear".
