Real dead reviews are not the problem: the list is easily searchable and anyone who tries to pick up packaging of some piece of software can check the list and recycle previous work and review efforts. The real problem is reviews where the packager still wants to proceed, but progress is blocked by sponsorship requirements or lack of review. But only a subset of this 1000 bugs on the list is in this state. Unfortunately it is not obvious which ones. We should be more aggresive in reassigning bugs to FE-DEADREVIEW to make the "live" ones stick out more.
