Comment (by ironprogrammer):

 == Adoption Update
 Since their proposal during the 5.6 cycle, usage of the keywords `needs-
 testing-info` and `has-testing-info` has steadily gained traction, and
 their use is [https://app.slack.com/client/T024MFP4J/search/search-
 eyJkIjoiaW4lM0ElMjNjb3JlLXRlc3QlMjAlMjJ0ZXN0aW5nLWluZm8lMjIiLCJxIjoiVTAyU0pEWEhRRk0iLCJyIjoiaW4lM0ElM0MlMjNDMDNCMEg1SjAlN0Njb3JlLXRlc3QlM0UlMjAlMjJ0ZXN0aW5nLWluZm8lMjIiLCJzIjoicmVjZW50TWVzc2FnZXMifQ==
 regularly encouraged during test triage].

 The increased consistency of use can also be found in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?keywords=~needs-testing-
 info&or&keywords=~has-testing-
 info&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=status&col=priority&col=milestone&order=priority
 Trac tickets], as well as in [https://wordpress.org/search/needs-testing-
 info/ test-related posts].

 == Further Improving Adoption
 Building on [#ticket previous] [comment:3 comments] [comment:4 in support]
 of these keywords, by including them in the Workflow Keywords dropdown,
 contributors will be able to **more easily access and apply these
 keywords**.

 The current Manual entry option is not intuitive, and many contributors
 may not realize these keywords exist and are regularly used. Additionally,
 copy/pasting or manually typing these keywords can be subject to typos
 that defeat the purpose of keyword consistency in Trac.

 == Keyword Descriptions
 In addition to my support for making these keywords official, I would like
 to suggest these corresponding
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/trac/keywords/ Trac
 Workflow Keywords] notes that would accompany their addition.

     `needs-testing-info`
     Contributors have requested a more detailed testing procedure to
 reproduce the issue, or to validate a patch works as expected.

     `has-testing-info`
     This keyword indicates that steps have been provided to reproduce the
 issue or test a patch.
