Description

Right now, if the oracle accepts a service request, but the worker doesn't do anything with it (i.e. launch the escrow contract) it just sits perpetually in the oracle's list of service requests. While we can't technically prove anything here in terms of 'revocation' of a signed message, it's probably reasonable to make the default behavior here an option for the oracle to say "hey, wipe this from your memory and take this project off my todo list".

Research direction

Start by tracing how the oracle records an accepted service request and how escrow contract launch is represented. Determine where an oracle could request removal of an unlaunched request, then define the observable behavior and failure cases. Done means an accepted request can be removed from the oracle's pending list without claiming that the signed message itself was revoked.
