So the reasoning behind setting "awaiting merge" is because the "needs" label is meant to represent what is holding up the PR from being closed, and so a PR from a core dev is really just blocked on merging since they don't have to receive a review.

Now, if people would rather move it over to "needs review" by default like any other PR then that's fine as well, but I don't know if that's going to help with INADA-san's worry about so many issues making a label less useful.

+1. Personally, most of the time I request a review from another core
developer, so setting the "awaiting review" label seems reasonable to
me.
