It seems reasonable to expect that wanna-build-states.wml should mention the
manual state transitions available by mailing the debian-wb-team (give-back
and dep-wait). A proposed patch follows (please check its accuracy with the
wb-team, cc'd).

I've also filed Bug #555961 on release.debian.org proposing clarifications in
<http://release.debian.org/wanna-build.txt>.
