My guess: If someone votes "will review" it's like it's on their to-do list
because they think they're a good candidate. Submitting a modified part should
not clear WILL NOT and WILL review votes. Only a hold/certify should clear them

Give a way to search the parts you tagged WILL review and it's your own to-do
list. Give a way to search the parts someone else tagged WILL review and it's a
nag list.

If enough people vote will review, the part has enough reviewers to get done. If
no one does, and no one reviews it, maybe a campaign to provide more info is
appropriate.

The above is all my guessing. Not sure it's a good idea or not, but something to
mull over?

Agree.

Only by uploading a revised part maybe?

Going back a ways for this one... (...) I considered going a similar route when I constructed the PT: offer reviewers a list of checkpoints that they should consider when posting a review. I abandoned this thinking because the 'rules' for processing (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
