The problem is that only me and Arun do reviews. I'm currently concentrating on fixing the release blocker bugs, and Arun has been busy with non-PA things lately (I hope that won't be a permanent situation). After we get the release candidate out, I can start doing reviews again, but I can't promise any particular timeline for reviewing your patches. I can only promise not to forget about them. It would be great to have more people reviewing patches, but I don't know how to acquire those people. I don't think the reviews have to necessarily be done by someone with a title of "maintainer", but on the other hand, giving much trust to drive-by contributors seems risky too... If you (or anyone else reading this!) would be interested in becoming a regular reviewer, I think we can make that happen. --Â Tanu
