The above is an effort to reduce the chance/risk that the maintainer
is *not* made aware of the fact that a topic has already been well
reviewed, or the latest reroll has addressed all the issues
previously have pointed out and the reviewers are happy with its
shape, and ready to be merged to 'next', just left in 'seen' labeled
with "Will merge to 'next'?", etc.
