I did a quick scan of the official parts on my hard drive. The most recent one
with "(needs work)" in the part title is 30375s01 (Minifig Mechanical Torso
without Chest/Rib Surface (Needs Work)), and it's from the 2002-05 update.
There are two more recent files, but they both have a 0 NEEDS WORK comment
immediately following the header.
I couldn't find any reference to the phrase "needs work" in the part tracker
reference pages. A Google search of ldraw.org didn't match "needs work" in any
of the reference pages of the whole site. My suggestion would be to add this as
an officially sanctioned method of allowing parts to be approved that aren't
"perfect".

An excellent idea. If my vote counts for anything, I say yes.
Under the Needs Work comment authors or reviews could then note
specific items that need to be done such as "Needs BFC" or "Underside
needs more detail" or "needs more primitives in painted area".
This proposal could move a lot of 85% parts that are very useable into
official status so people can easily use them.
As long as a part is rotating on the best point and is shaped properly
with all obvious features, planes and lines it should be adequate.

Have you counted the ones at the Tracker?

There are currently 30 parts or shortcuts with (nedds work) in description
line.
