Hello Adolf,

Good question. I do not think this is documented anywhere.

There two stages are as follows:

* The patch is staged when it has been merged into the “next” branch

* The patch is marked as accepted when it has been merged to the “master” branch

The idea is to make it clear which patches have been included in a release and which are in the “testing” phase.

Does this make sense?
