I definitly agree.

Yes, I'm not sure this is a good idea to add this control bit field in a
host record, cause maybe in the same host, we want to use a topic tree to
define menus, or some features of the host style or navigation.
Maybe you may want it to be at the topic level...
But you could also manage it by an appropriate PHP function like
user_update_article($article) in which you call
mgd_unapprove_article($article->id)...
