Bugzilla has the ability to create additional 4-state flags at both the attachment level and at the bug level.  (Note that bugs.webkit.org does not have bug-level flags enabled.)

For example, we could create a "commit" attachment flag which would have four states (just like the "review" flag):  <none>, commit?, commit+, commit-.

I'm not sure if this helps or hurts, though it would have made abarth's desired workflow much nicer.

Mozilla also uses a "superreview" flag and various "approval" flags as seen on the attachments on this bug:
