Categories (e.g. status, cause) should be shorter and consistently formatted

I suggest this (to be consulted with David):

[2] "1. To assess"
[3] "Deprio"
[4] "2. Final Cons"
[5] "30. Author eval response"
[6] Let's merge this with "Deprio" [7] "50. Evals Published"
[8] "999. Other"
[9] "Not a paper/project"
[10] "20. Awaiting Evals"
[11] "Author Reject"
[12] "10. Seeking Evaluators"
[13] "21. Followup with evaluators"
[14] "4. Seeking Eval Manager"
[15] "3. Author consent/update"

Re: research fields, should we just align them completely with the FS groupings?

[hughjonesd]

What are the FS groupings? Is there a reason only some statuses have numbers?
