This indication should come in the form of setting the 'Assigned To'
field.  If someone is reviewing a package, or planning on doing a full
review, then this field should be set accordingly.

Note that you have to look at 'Assigned To', not for 'Status: ASSIGNED'
to see if the review is really assigned.  If someone decides to unassign
themselves, they can set the 'Assigned To' field back to the
bugzilla-sink owner, but it's not possible to reset the 'Status' field
back to 'NEW'.
