The problem with the whole thing is that you're asking the person doing
the "returned" marking to guess whether the patch will be resubmitted in
a future CF.

The right workflow here, IMO, is that a patch should be marked returned or
rejected, full stop; and then when/if the author submits a new version for
a future CF, there should be a way *at that time* to re-link the email
thread into that future CF.

"Moved" is really only applicable, I think, for cases where we punt a
patch to the next CF for lack of time.
