I once found some piece of code in the ATCT migrator once:
def migrate_workflow(self):
"""migrate the workflow state
"""
wfh = getattr(self.old, 'workflow_history', None)
if wfh:
wfh = copyPermMap(wfh)
self.new.workflow_history = wfh
I'd say that you might look into what workflow_history looks like. AFAIK
the review_state is actually just the last entry in this and not
separately saved.
