Offering this as a choice is easy.

However, there is almost certainly code (especially template code) that assumes ad is not None once a document has the IESG processing taint. Implementing this request will require a careful scrub for such assumptions.

Convincing the form to allow (none) is complex.
More importantly, there are other places that assume an ad is assigned if there is an IESG state.

Addressing this will be tied up in dealing with returning to a "No special state" state for each doc state machine. See #303
