"Needs decision" or "Needs consensus" would be great for me. It would be
nice to be able to "tick off" that stage, checkbox-style (so ticking it off
== stage completed)

I am definitely in the triage / lower-level developer position. I'm happy to
contribute time and code as I'm available to. I'm planning currently to
start doing a lot of work on strftime and strptime, as there are a lot of
quite tractable, isolated issues with those modules, which have been
outstanding for some time.
