Correct.

If the co-chairs decide to request a revert, it will not affect that 
issue, and we will not consider a request to revert the revert.

The following is the timeline towards last call that we are operating 
towards:

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Sep/0074.html

Specifically,

> Oct 1, 2010 - cutoff for bugs to be considered as pre-LC feedbac

The bugs that were entered on hgroup were created well after that cutoff:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11737
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11828
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11731

This is being tracked as an issue:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-164

The next step is that the co-chairs will issue a call for Change Proposals:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#change-proposals.

The effect of such a call will be to set a deadline for such proposals. 
  The consequence of missing that deadline is that the issue will 
deferred to the next version of HTML:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html#escalation-step-2a

Meanwhile, there is nothing stopping anyone from working on a Change 
Proposal now.
