[cle-release-team] Extra resolved status in JIRA: Patch Ready

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Aaron,

Would it be desirable to be able to filter on patches in Jira regardless of the state of the workflow? For #1, I'm assuming that "Patch Ready" or "Ready for Review" are only temporary resolutions until after the patch is reviewed and merged? Then the resolution would go to one of the current standards (e.g Fixed, Won't Fix, etc)?
