Okay, here is a similar example with deletion:

baseline: "Hello, wonderful world"

baseline + tracked deletion: "Hello[, wonderful] world" - text in [] is tracked
as deleted

Accept: "Hello world"

Reject: "Hello, wonderful world" = baseline

Reinstate: "Hello[, wonderful]{, wonderful} world" - text in [] is tracked as
deleted, text in {} as inserted

Reinstate + Accept = "Hello, wonderful world" = baseline

(end of example)

Again, the suggested change (a deletion) is rejected, but there are tracks of
what was suggested.

Agreed, if the function had only been about deletion, then "Reinstate" would be
a good description. But the function is about changes in general, both
deletions and insertions. "Reject but track" is an attempt to find a term that
covers both cases.
