This is why I started the discussion.

This is kind of default state anyway. But some PRs might be extra
tricky to do and I would reserve the tag for those.

This is also kind-of-evident from:
- a green check given by some reviewer (but it's never clear whether
this check was given by the actual maintainer or someone else; this
would make it more clear)
- a request for the maintainer to make a review
but it would be nice to have an obvious label

This would probably be most useful for Trac.

A while ago I created a tag WIP and people argued that
work-in-progress should not even be submitted as a PR. It was then
removed. I would still find it useful though. It might turn out that
90% of work is done and someone finds a problem that needs to be
resolved first.

There's another potentially related thing (not sure if it should be
the same or another tag). Like "no, please don't commit an update to
lua because this breaks many ports". Or, "wait-a-moment, it turns out
that something is broken after this, I need a couple of more days to
fix it".
