From my perspective, if you are asking a critical reviewer to re-review, then you are making them active again, and they need to indicate when they have finished by clicking the approve / waiting button. Poking a user allows all this to happen with a single click, and I would not want to drop this functionality.
So it looks like what would be needed is not to change poke or email, but a new function which would be somewhere between emailing a user & poking them - where they are notified of the review, and it goes to the top of their list or is highlighted somehow, but they don't need to re-approve. I don't think that would also change their status back to active because that is a trigger to the tool to enforce the rules & ensure critical reviewers still have to approve. Does that sound about right?
