Body: <p>I'm using CiviCRM for political campaigns and the process of reserving respondents is a major pain point for my clients. Most of the time you never know who or how many people will show up to knock doors, making it so you need to release and then re-reserve contacts in order to properly record who surveyed them.</p>
  <p>It would be much easier if you could simply delete the requirement in the report to only look for reserve contacts and just export whatever list comes up on your filter. I've looked at the report template in code, but I can't decipher where exactly I would need to make changes to remove that requirement.</p>
  <p>Has anyone ever attempted this before or have any suggestions on how to go about doing it?</p>
