The above is an effort to reduce the chance/risk that the maintainer is *not* made aware of the fact that a topic has already been well reviewed, or the latest reroll has addressed all the issues previously have pointed out and the reviewers are happy with its shape, and ready to be merged to 'next', just left in 'seen' labeled with "Will merge to 'next'?", etc.
