OK -- I can be persuaded to drop that proposal.

In exchange though I will be doing what Sidney suggests -- pushing for
reviews. I had been assuming that people would be keeping an eye on the
bugzilla mail traffic, even while busy, because they were aware that R-T-C
required reviews; but it seems that's not the case.  (BTW that's how
R-T-C is *supposed* to work...)

I'll be ready to start hassling each person individually for reviews
instead. ;)

We talked about this briefly the other day, but I'd get behind a report
that gets sent out once a week or every X number of days that highlights
the bugs in need of a review along with anything else open for whatever
release we are currently working on.  Maybe a report at less frequency
for bugs against the stable branch.

I'm actually in favor of trying some change.  It does not necessarily
have to be the one Justin proposed, but I don't see any major reason we
have to be locked into the current mode.

Process should not impede progress as much as it has been.
