You could come up with some clever names like Debian does
for 'woody', 'sarge', 'sid' (stable,testing,unstable), so
maybe for asterisk 'masterflash', 'starlight', 'dogpound',
etc.  Regardless, nice work on going thru bug after bug and
marking whether the patch gets applied to 1.0, especially
since most people are only writing patches against head.
