Comment(by kevinB):

 Just uploaded a
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/12706/Custom_Stati_Support.patch
 patch] for the first issue.  This is mostly comprehensive, supporting use
 of the following type of stati:

 * private type, indicated by $status_obj->private.  Some functionality as
 normal private, but a separate set of capability requirements which may
 include all or some of the following: "read_secret_posts",
 "edit_secret_posts", "delete_secret_posts", "set_secret_posts" (the
 "publish" equivalent).  If a status-specific caps is not defined for some
 operation, the normal private status equivalent is used.

 * pending type, indicated by '''$status_obj->moderation'''.  Enables
 additional multi-step moderation, optionally with status-specific
 capabilities.  A new filter is applied to allow plugins to customize the
 default moderation status for the main Submit button:

 {{{
 $moderation_status = apply_filters( 'post_moderation_status', 'pending',
 $post->ID );
 }}}


 '''Remaining Issues:'''
 * I didn't touch xml-rpc or map_meta_cap (but see meta mapping in attached
 plugin for ideas)

 * Custom '''public''' stati now have some backend support but no Edit Form
 UI integration.   The complication-to-benefit ratio seems much higher
 here; at this point I'm not eager to push it.

 * The js I moved into edit-form-advanced.php should be reviewed for
 optimal delivery method.

 * I don't know the WP way to compress js files.  post.js and inline-edit-
 post.js in this patch are a copy of uncompressed dev.js


 '''Demo Plugin:'''
 I also attached a [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/12706
 /custom-status-helper_1.0.zip plugin] to demonstrate two custom stati via
 the following roles:

 * "Reviewer" - has edit_approved, delete_approved, set_approved,
 edit_others, delete_others for all post types

 * "Super Editor" (name='super') - has read_secret, edit_secret,
 delete_secret, set_secret for all post types (in addition to regular
 editor caps)

 The WP roles definitions will be added to your DB, but db-stored
 capabilities are only that of Contributor and Editor, respectively.
