I've used pending for the former case as well (i.e. when I wanted a 
verdict from the release manager on whether or not to backport a 
particular fix to 2.5, but didn't want the issue hanging around as open 
when I had already fixed it for the trunk).

We really do need to write some of this down in an information track PEP 
so we're all using the same values to mean the same thing...

Cheers,
Nick.
