This would certainly be possible, but I'm not sure it is what everyone 
would want.  Some installations (probably ours, for one, though it's 
probably not a big deal) would want the 'List open topics' link to list 
only topics in state 'open' and not ones in state 'Reviewed', even 
though both are not 'read-only' states (i.e. topics in either state can 
be edited).

I would vote for this option.  I'm assuming it would control only the 
states that get displayed when you click the 'List open states' link, 
and would be different from @readonly_states.
