I had the same problem last time, "Returned with feedback" didn't feel
fine in some cases.

After reading this i started to wish there was some kind of guide about
this, and of course the wiki has that guide (outdated yes but something
to start with).

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/CommitFest_Checklist#Sudden_Death_Overtime

This needs some love, still mentions rrreviewers for example, but if we
updated and put here a clear definition of the states maybe it could
help to do CF managment.
