Just because you've gotten back doesn't mean the issue is gone.  It 
sounds like the list we might need is of new issues that have not yet 
been responded to.  So perhaps adding a field indicating whether a bug 
is new, or has been responded to should be added.  Then we could try to 
keep the queue of new, as-yet-unresponded-to bugs small.  Would that help?

If someone is confident enough to reject a patch and they're not a 
committer, then they should still reject the patch.  If someone else 
disagrees with that judgement, then they can re-submit it.

So is Hadoop's workflow acceptable to all?
