As we should expect as a result of this policy more back-and-forth
between statuses, I'll fix http://wiki.openstack.org/releasestatus/ so
that it no longer reports as an oddity a blueprint in "Needs code
review" status which has a branch merge proposal in "Work in progress"
status.

The other part of this is when Tarmac fails to merge a branch, it sets
it back to "Needs Review" with a helpful message. In 90% of the cases
it's up for the proposer to fix what is reported (test failure, PEP8,
conflict, author missing from CLA...), so those also end up overloading
the "truly in need of review" view.

I'll look into it and connect with the Jenkins masters to fix it.
