Edit tasks while task is pending approval

In typical fashion, updates or edits are made that impact a task that is out for review. The ability to edit the task while the task is in pending approval status would be helpful to the project manager. This would give the ability to make notes on tasks, edit task descriptions and change task assignments on tasks that are pending approval. For example, a worker will be out of the office, and having the ability to re-assign all of their tasks to their backup team member would be helpful. Not need if they delegated their reviews, but that's another story. Plus the ability to change assignments on “complete-pending approval” tasks so that once the Sponsor clicks “reject”, the request for changes is assigned to the backup immediately and no time is wasted.

It would also be very useful if tasks can be edited on projects that are pending approval or at least allow this to be a configurable setting. I'd like my team to be able to write any notes etc. on tasks when a project is pending approval as our processes mean that not everything stops whilst approval is being sought.
