Like jasong, I use an Awaiting context. My pattern is to write an action name like "From Bob, TPS reports" and put it in the Awaiting context. I will set a due date sometimes, for time critical projects. On others I'll just notice reminders needed on my weekly review.

Another tip, I often set start dates on Waiting For items. This move the projects out of sight, out of mind and gives the person on whom I'm waiting a chance to respond without me nagging them. (Even if only psychically. ;-)
