To be clear: My position was always that it's good that the author has
to do *something* to get their patch into the next CF. It's bad that
this change in state can easily be missed, though. I've now been on
both sides of this, as a patch author and patch reviewer. If the patch
was left as "Waiting on Author", as my review of Alexander's patch
was, then it ought to not change to "Needs Review" silently. That
makes absolutely no sense.
