Hi,

as a result of the discussion in [1] we now have a PATCH_TO_REVIEW status in Bugzilla, which has replaced the "patch-in-gerrit" keyword.

The plan is to soon make Gerrit set this status automatically in a bug report in Bugzilla (via the patch in [2]) when a patch mentions a bug number (see the commit message guidelines in [3]).

Hence knowing which bug report already has some kind of patch to work with will become less error-prone and less "untidy".

As before, people working on fixing a bug report are very welcome to set themselves as the assignee of the bug report.

PS: Related: The legacy keywords "patch", "patch-need-review" [4] and "patch-reviewed" continue to exist for older tickets which have old patches in Bugzilla (which could be reviewed and transferred to Gerrit if they still make sense), as there's no easy solution to that problem.
