+Note that the tag database is probably catching up to these
+conventions.
+
+### Main patch tracking tags
+
+Intially any patch should be tagged
+
+ notmuch::patch
+
+Patches that are for discussion, rather than proposed for master should be tagged
+
+ notmuch::wip is "work in progress", posted for review or comment.
+
+Most patches will be initially tagged
+
+ notmuch::needs-review needs some (more) review
+
+unless the are tagged
+
+ notmuch::trivial looks harmless
+
+Patches keep `notmuch::needs-review` until they either get enough
+reviews, or one of the following resolutions is reached
+
+ notmuch::obsolete replaced by some other patch
+ notmuch::pushed is pushed to master
+ notmuch::wontfix for whatever reason, this patch will not
+ be applied
+
+Sometimes the process stalls, and patches get tagged
+
+ notmuch::moreinfo waiting for feedback from patch proposer
+ or others
+
+### Bug tracking tag
+
+So far we are just tagging certain messages as bug reports, meaning
+things that "everyone" agrees should be fixed.
