Hi James, I think this is an interesting idea. We'd need to talk about it more, see how it'd fit into things, but it might be worth putting together. Either natively or as an extension.
A quicker option for now is to make use of the Note To Reviewers extension, which gives you a text field below Testing Done that you can populate with whatever information you want to communicate to reviewers. The advantage of this is that the history of notes is recorded, just like any other field, so people can see when the change was "suspended" and when it was made available again for review.

Usually, I end up modifying the review "Description" or "Testing > Done" field to indicate what's going on, but that seems less than adequate. > > Could we please have an "Update->Suspend" or something like that?
