I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but having to force
changesets back to draft status is not ideal. If possible, I would
recommend doing reviews in a non-publishing repository (which
bitbucket supports:
https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/4560/provide-a-method-for-setting-the-phase-of).

Once you've done that, the commits for your review would be the ones
that are still draft (perhaps filtered according to ancestry if you
are working on multiple PRs in the same repository). Something like
the revset "draft() and ancestors(.)"

Hope that helps,
