Well, one thing I think we want to do by having non-committer reviewers, is 
to not involve a committer at all if the patch is going to be sent back.  
So one thing I was thinking of is:

1) change status to "ready for committer"
2) post message to -hackers detailing the review and calling for a 
committer to check the patch
3) a committer picks it up
