Hmph, I guess I shouldn't use the verb "queue" if it implies a lot more than there is to it. I create a topic branch out of a patch series on the list at some point in the iteration of a series and merge it to 'pu'; I can say "I queued the topic to 'pu'" after doing so. The verb to me does not mean anything more than that. The fact that a topic is queued on 'pu' does not mean much. It can be taken as a sign "Gitster thought that it may become 'next' worthy material, either as-is or with further polishing and replacing." Once a topic gets discussed on list and it seems apparent that there is a concensus that supports it, I may mark the topic as "Will merge to 'next'" in the What's cooking report, but I may not realize that the list already reached such a concensus and may leave it unmarked in the report. So "this has been battle tested in such and such environment" and/or "this round was reviwed by the thread here and they were supportive" etc. is a very appreciated response to the "what's cooking" report to help me merge the topic down to 'next'. "I have sent a reroll at ..." I typically hear when I miss a rerolled version and what is listed is still from an old iteration, hence my "Eh, you are pointing at what I have queued" reaction. Thanks.
