Ready for Release
-> Under Review
-> Pending
-> Closed (Resolution: Released)

* Accepted is there to denote the difference between a request that someone has initially looked at and one that is just left sitting there.
* Pending is a sort of catch-all state where releases get booted back to if there is a technical problem - testing found a bug, or if there is a build issue.
* Under Review is where higher-level project decisions are made.

The difference between 'Withdrawn' and 'Rejected' is that the user who made the request withdraws it vs the project rejecting it.

I would also like to see an appropriate set of project roles configured so that only people with the appropriate role(s) can advance the workflow at each step. For example, the "security reviewer" role would be the only one that can advance from state "Security Review" to "Pending", etc.
