+1 Sounds good Steve; thanks for working with Gavin and Infra to improve
our workflow.

It'd be nice if, after cancelling a patch review, I could re-enable it.  It
appears the only way to do this is to re-attach the patch?  Any way it's a
minor issue.  I just did some fooling around on INFRATEST to try.
