+_Note that the tag database is probably catching up to these
+conventions._
+
+### Main patch tracking tags
+
+Initially 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 they 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
+ notmuch::stale The patch no longer applies to master (or in
+ rare cases, to release)
+### Bug tracking tag
+
+So far we are just tagging certain messages as bug reports, meaning
+things that "everyone" agrees should be fixed.
