The way I have always viewed it is if a test is needed, then a test is
needed regardless of whether there is a patch. And if a test is missing then
the patch is not ready to be reviewed anyway so it isn't quite as big of a
deal that it exists yet. Otherwise the stage field should be trimmed down
such that the need for a unit test, a patch, and doc changes are more
checkboxes/keywords that they are completed than a stage where one of them
needs to be done.
