My understanding was that all items in a commit-fest have one of these
three dispositions:

. committed
. rejected
. referred back to author for more work

We're really only interested in the third one here, and so, yes, the
ball should be in the author's court, not yours. I don't see any reason
for you to move items from one queue to another like that. It just looks
like it's making work.
