It would be nice if it worked that way -- in a review system which
wasn't broken, it *should* work that way -- but a quick look at who's
been doing the reviews for the last 2 releases shows that we no longer
get new reviewers.

Don't get me wrong. *you* are doing a ton of reviews, and if we had 20
people like you, then we wouldn't be talking about the review process at
all because everything would be done already. But we don't. And, for
that matter, I personally would love to see you not *need* to do so many
reviews, so that you could spend more time working on LSR.

Either you're proposing a solution, supporting someone else's solution,
or you're saying the problem isn't important. There is no fourth
alternative.
