+1 on adding a new state like this. I think it would make sense for the author to request additional input, but I think it would need two states, something like "Request for new reviewer" and "Request for new committer". Just like authors disappear sometimes after a driveby patch submission, it's fairly common too imho for reviewers or committers to disappear after a driveby review. Having a way for an author to mark a patch as such would be helpful, both to the author, and to reviewers/committers looking to do help some patch out.
