+Patch state Description
+================== =============================================================
+New, Under review pending review, patch is in the maintainer’s queue for
+ review; the two states are used interchangeably (depending on
+ the exact co-maintainer handling patchwork at the time)
+Accepted patch was applied to the appropriate networking tree, this is

+Needs ACK waiting for an ack from an area expert or testing
+Changes requested patch has not passed the review, new revision is expected
+ with appropriate code and commit message changes
+Rejected patch has been rejected and new revision is not expected
+Not applicable patch is expected to be applied outside of the networking
+ subsystem
+Awaiting upstream patch should be reviewed and handled by appropriate
+ sub-maintainer, who will send it on to the networking trees;
+ patches set to ``Awaiting upstream`` in netdev's patchwork
+ will usually remain in this state, whether the sub-maintainer
+ requested changes, accepted or rejected the patch
+Deferred patch needs to be reposted later, usually due to dependency
