combined decision on files, and comments that they have each made, and
can discuss and decide how to proceed with the request.

At this stage, more comments can be added or the visibility of existing
comments can be changed. Output checkers should determine the set of
comments that they intend to return to the researcher (if any).
If the output checkers have conflicting votes, they should discuss and
come to an agreement on whether the file(s) require changes. They should
review any comments to determine the set of comments that they intend to
return to the researcher (if any), and ensure that comments that are to be
made visible to the researcher are consistent and coherent.

While consolidating reviews, more comments can be added, after the output
checkers have discussed and agreed on the questions they need to ask.
If an existing comment already conveys the information requires, its
visibility can be changed to allow it to be made visible to the researcher.
