Sure, but the folks who volunteered to be reviewers for this fest
presumably expected to have cycles to do that. I agree with Josh B
that there's too many patches for which nothing has happened for longer
than is reasonable.

I don't have a problem with pushing a patch to the next fest if the
author is the one who's not answering, but it'd be less than fair to do
so when it's the reviewer who's dropped the ball.

(At the same time, it should be noted that some of the patches seem to
be getting review activity that's not reflected on the wiki page.
A lot of people seem to have poked at the WITH RECURSIVE patch in
particular.)
