It's a generic status that we can remove - I just did so.

"Approved projects to be reviewed" is for projects that were approved
but still need to be reviewed again later.  Most of the case this
means they were accepted without source code.  Do you have a more
intuitive wording to suggest? :)

We initially did that (with the "Approved projects to be reviewed"
category).  However in practice we didn't have the time to review
those projects later on, and the project submitters didn't ask us for
the review. A lot of projects also just didn't progress and stayed
empty.

So we tend to avoid such projects. If you want to take responsibility,
you can accept the project and review it later on. This isn't a very
clean situation.
