 The "State" field will tell you exactly where things are at with your
-patch. Patches are indexed by the ``Message-ID`` header of the emails
+patch:  

                                                      of the patch's email.

+================== =============================================================
+New, Under review  pending review, patch is in the maintainer’s queue for review
+Accepted           patch was applied to the appropriate networking tree, this is
+                   usually set automatically by the pw-bot
+Needs ACK          waiting for an ack from an area maintainer or testing

+                   with appropriate code and commit message changes
+Rejected           patch has been rejected and new revision is not expected

+Awaiting upstream  patch should be reviewed and handled by appropriate

+Deferred           patch needs to be reposted later, usually due to dependency

Nit:
Above line uses tabs for indentation. All other lines here use spaces.

Thanks, will fix.
