After a bit of due diligence to track down the reviewer, make a note,
ignore that -1 and move on.  To address the fact that the -1 causes the
review to not appear in many people's dashboards, if that feels like an
issue, do a trivial patchset to actually reset the -1 if no other changes
are otherwise forthcoming.

I've been guilty of doing this (forgetting about a -1 on a review) and like
to think that I'd pass whatever bar was set for reviewers.  Limiting the
pool of reviewers really doesn't fix the problem and sets a bad tone for
the project. See all of the discussions about core status and exclusivity,
we don't need to inflict more of that on ourselves.
