Bug Description
I was looking at a (pretty big) project's review dashboard (also pretty big). In this dashboard, there are many merge proposals which fall outside of the areas I can help in, but they need to remain in the project itself as other contributors may review them. I'd just like them not to clutter my own board, as they take significant space and make it harder for me to see how the branches I review evolve (since launchpad's web UI isn't much help there).
For the first time I tried the "abstain" review type in case this would prove useful to review.
I fail to see how it could be less useful: not only does the review remain but it gets moved to the "Reviews I am doing" section of my dashboard even though I specifically said (or tried to say) I couldn't/didn't want to review it.
I would suggest the "Abstain" status to either:
* Remove the review altogether from the dashboard
* (better) Move the review to a brand new section or to the existing "Other reviews I am not actively reviewing" (which is at the bottom and mostly out of the way)
Furthermore, ideally, when a review has been requested for a team the user is part of, the team's review request should be left as-is, it should *not* be changed to "Abstain"
