Don't think I understand the process you have in mind. Right now there
are two possible cases for updating DIP:

1) It was rejected and someone wants to submit a drastically different
proposal on same topic. This has to come as brand new DIP document with
own number.

2) It is a regular update. In that case revision number is simply git
history. For example DIP1002 is currently at revision 7 (git log
--pretty=oneline DIPs/DIP1002.md | wc -l).

Same goes for update of reviews - everything is tracked in git history.
At any given point of time you simply throw away everything old and keep
only most recent versions.

Am I missing something in your requirements?
