OK, so I was going to opine that it's just as good to post the
assignments to pgsql-hackers, but then thought that it's not such a hot
idea given the wider distribution of it. However, I just checked the
archives of -rrreviewers and I notice two things:

1. the traffic is very low
2. reviews have started being crossposted to -rrreviewers and -hackers
(worse yet, posted only to the former)
