I don’t think another state is necessary/helpful. It seems like more process, when what we are suffering is lack of resources, not lack of process.
I do believe that it is helpful to add a comment when I am reviewing - see e.g. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3183 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3183>. And when I get distracted (which I often do), the contributor can ping me a few days later and say “hey, how’s the review going?”. We’re not very good at assigning reviewers to cases. Everyone is a volunteer, so we don’t assign reviewers, we leave it to people to assign themselves as reviewer. If a new state would help with that problem I could be convinced to support it.
