I have no problem with this, and suggestions for good, descriptive  
names of the various stages of the process is most welcome. I have  
edited the document to reflect ScottK's suggestion.

Yes, exactly.

It was my intention to state that a MOTU can go to the "Unreviewed"  
list, deposit a review, and the package would automatically be  
promoted to the "In Process" list. I have added the word "automatic"   
to the description, making that clearer.

Thanks!
