The list of valid statuses (`upstream_status_literal_valid_status`) was
missing "Inactive-Upstream", which caused patchtest to fail the test
test_patch.TestPatch.test_upstream_status_presence_format for patches
containing lines like:

     +Upstream-Status: Inactive-Upstream [lastrelease: 2013 lastcommit: 2013]

with the error:

     FAIL: test Upstream-Status presence: Upstream-Status is in incorrect 
format (test_patch.TestPatch.test_upstream_status_presence_format)

"Inactive-Upstream" is documented in the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded
Contributor Guide [1]:

     Inactive-Upstream [lastcommit: when (and/or) lastrelease: when]

         The upstream is no longer available. This typically means a
         defunct project where no activity has happened for a long time —
         measured in years. To make that judgement, it is recommended to
         look at not only when the last release happened, but also when
         the last commit happened, and whether newly made bug reports and
         merge requests since that time receive no reaction. It is also
         recommended to add to the patch description any relevant links
         where the inactivity can be clearly seen.

I'm wondering if we simply shouldn't remove this status?

I believe even if the project is inactive, we should still aim at submitting patches in the event the project starts again, or maybe it's just that nobody has sent a patch for years and the SW works good enough for all people involved.
What do you think?

Otherwise, looks good to me.

Cheers,
Quentin
