Quoting the relevant portion of this email:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-October/049813.html

Almost everyone who I've talked to about this problem feels like maybe
the timeout needs to be tuned, but since almost no one knows what the
timeout is, that may be the problem itself.

One possible workflow (inspired by our conversation, but not vetted by
Brandon or Alolita) is this:
*  On the list of pages to review, keep the "under review" notice
pretty much exactly as is
*  On the review page, in the "Review this revision" box, put one of
two notices:
**  "This page is being reviewed by User:Xyz, who started 20:09, 7 October
2010"
**  "You are being advertised as currently reviewing of this page
(started 20:09, 7 October 2010).  [Stop reviewing]"

This would add some transparency to the review process, which will
help us tune the timeout and generally make this work more as people
would expect it to.

Some implementation questions that we didn't know the answers to:
1) Do we know *who* is doing the reviewing of a page?  (i.e. is this
already stored somewhere we can get at it easily)  If so, the notice
should be pretty straightforward.
2) If so, when *anyone* looks at a set of pending changes, does it
mark it as "under review"?  We're assuming not, but one thing that's
frustrating is that any time a reviewer looks at a diff, that
automatically puts the page "under review".
