When I've kicked issues in the RM's direction for a decision, I've
generally tried to make sure my last comment makes it clear exactly what
decision I'm asking them to make.

If I didn't want their opinion on some aspect of the issue I would just
reject it, postpone it or commit it myself :)

Cheers,
