Yes, the Launchpad team has this same problem.  In fact, Aaron Bentley and I
had a discussion about this very thing two weeks ago.  Aaron had reviewed my
branch and asked me to make changes.  In order to get the branch out of
activereviews, he set the branch merge proposal status to "Work in progress"
The issue then is that I can't see the proposal in my activereviews to know I
need to get on it (out of sight usually means out of mind).  The workaround
currently is for me to use some other method (a notepad) to make sure I don't
forget about the branch.

There is an open bug about this, if you'd like to "Me too" it:
