That is a sticky one, because unimported patches will come up every week 
in triage.

One barrier in the past has been that no one at Linden Lab can figure 
out how to make Jira permissions fine grained such that signed 
contributors could have access to special flags.  This came up when it 
was suggested that regular users be prohibited from editing the Internal 
Jira number field.

A ready for import field could be abused if people realize that that 
gets it on triage faster.
