They were, it's just that we weren't using them as defined.

Abstain?  My use case for abstain is Kent's left-align patch.  I don't
particularly want it in, but I don't feel strongly enough about it to
reject it.  However, I *do* want it to stop showing as pending in *my*
queue.

Yes, that's the point.  We've got too much stuff hanging around in the
"pending" queue that's not really pending review.  Most of the cases
where people use +0 are better served by "resubmit".

I'm trying to avoid having a confusing array of choices.  Would you
consider starting with abstain, and seeing if it works?

You can do that with "abstain", too.  The main difference is whether you
want it to appear in your personal pending-review list.
