Description

Currently, reviewers with open reviews are not notified when an article moves from review to revision. Editors are also not notified/warned when they move an article to revision with reviews still open.

Describe the solution you'd like
For reviewers to be informed when an article they are reviewing (still on-going) is moved to revision + for editors to be warned/notified when they more articles to revision when there are still reviews open. This would increase UX and avoid issues where reviewers may complete reviews when an article has already moved to revision. Editors will now also be aware when moving articles that this might be an issue.

Research direction

Start by tracing the article workflow from review to revision and locating the existing notification paths for reviewers and editors. Define the behavior described in the issue: notify active reviewers and warn editors when open reviews remain. Done means both audiences receive the appropriate notification when this transition occurs, with tests covering the open-review case.
