Re: [proto-team] Re: PROTO - proceeding on adding PROTO shepherds to the tracker

Why would this have to be sub-states?  Why not just a state of  
"Document in external review" and the comments (or a review announce  
form) can indicate who the review request was sent to?

Trying to simplify, so if this isn't a real simplification, feel free  
to ignore.

thx,
Lisa
