Pending Revisions conveys that publication is deferred, but not for what
reason. 

Based on only the name it leaves a new editor guessing: maybe there is a
server delay and the matter will resolve itself in next twenty minutes?

 

Double Check or Revision Review tells clearly there is human intervention
needed for the next step. 

Revision Review is my favorite. It seems more neutral, also less 'heavy' in
connotations than Double Check. 

 

Also Review is clearly a term for a process, unlike Revisions.

compare

"This article is in Pending Revisions". or "Pending Revisions applies to
this article"

and

 "This article is in Revision Review. " or "Revision Review" applies to this
article.

the latter sounds more natural to me.

 

There is only so much one can convey in two words without further
explanation.

So a new editor will not have a clue from the name what the review process
entails.

At least it is clear it is a process, and human intervention is key.
