(Clearly, the issue of developers without commit access is a red herring, as every developer should have commit access.) But I'm afraid people are looking at the things they think might make a difference, but won't make a difference. I read the list, and haven't seen a huge number of unreviewed patches, but I admit I haven't been paying close enough attention. I hereby offer to review some patches. Please send pointers to the list. Andrew.
