Isn't the direction of dependency the other way?  Once fixes go in,
checks will no longer complain, but until fixes are reviewed and
applied, checking at CI will break the testing and this would need
working around by marking various tests as "not ready to be tested".

Today I learned a phrase "six of one and half a dozen of another" ;-)

I have been wondering if something like a book reading club is
doable on the list.  A chairperson nominates (and perhaps resends) a
series of patches that is of manageable size to be reviewed, perhaps
even prime the discussion with some comments, likeminded folks chime
in and we end up with a reviewed series?
