 ## Tagging conventions
 
+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.
+
     notmuch::bug                is a bug report
+
+### Optional tags
+
+These patches are more comments and suggestions.
