Prompted by a comment on the bug...

"needs-investigation" might sound like IN_PROGRESS or someone is working
on the bug, rather than signalling they need help from someone else.

Maybe just "help-wanted" (or "help-needed", whatever) as was suggested on the bug?

(... though this arguably might be interpreted to mean the same thing as "NeedsPatch").
