Inside of the template for "lc-row" [1], used on the page Requests for
new languages [2], I've added the type of official status
"Verification ongoing" which would be invoked by typing "doing" into
the "status" field.
I think it's pretty plain and useful for both ourselves and those
waiting for our decision. It should cover the period from adding a
proposal for discussion and final decision. If there is no final
decision, it should be rolled back into "discussion" status.

I would like to change the color of "eligible" status from green into
cyan (or whatever is your suggestion) to make a difference from the
color for "created".
The proposal [1] could be relevant for research under the name
"Bofonian". However, there are a couple of legitimate links to the
word "bofonisk" and all of them lead to the texts in Scandinavian
languages (Norwegian and Danish). I would say it was trolling.
