Presumably you'd like these restricted to status:Started?  Otherwise you'll see 
lots of status:Verified, Abandoned, etc.  Anyway, that's what I've done - 
easily changed though.

These are the four Patch( ... ) searches.

Open(Patch) now shows all the Started issues with a non-zero patch field.  
Useful for finding issues with incorrectly set fields.  As a dev you can fix 
these.  It also includes the needs_work, abandoned, and waiting patch states.

This shows all the patches waiting to be Verified.  Useful for the bug squad.

I've defined " " as the default for this field; should be OK for new issues 
now.  That also reminded me to define defaults for other fields too.

Thanks!
