So... Author's can always rework their patches to get things merged. I think
using:

:resubmit
  Author *must* rework the patch and resubmit for review
:tweak
  Patch needs rework, but it is trivial enough for the submitter to do so

In the case of devs with PQM access, submitter == author, so it is the same
system we have now. For people without access, we don't *have* to do another
round trip to get it merged. If an author want's to do the changes, it may
speed up the process. Though I find when things get resubmitted, it throws
some amount of flux into the system. You may need to re-review the patch to
make sure the comments were addressed, you at least lose the original votes
and discussion on the earlier patch, etc. (I don't have empirical evidence,
but I would offer that sometimes resubmitting actually slows down the final
merge, because of human inefficiencies.)


In the specific case Mark is referencing, there was a distinct layering issue.
Specifically, I felt that Ian had proposed some changes that he wanted Mark to
comment on. He also had submitted it as a delta against Mark's patch, rather
than as a combined diff. So I didn't strictly feel comfortable merging the two
together without at least Mark commenting on it.

Perhaps it would have been as straightforward to vote :resubmit and ask Mark
to apply Ian's changes. Certainly I felt like the requested changes were not
the trivial kind that I would consider :tweak.
