Baring any objections, I'm going to change the blurb that explains the
pending tag now to the following:
Indicates that the maintainer has fixed the bug (or believes they
have fixed the bug) in their development tree and the next upload
will include the fix for the bug.
to remove the indication that pending means that a fix will
necessarily be uploaded "soon".
