Hmm, I tend to believe what's in the CF app, so maybe I'm dropping the
ball on review credits :-(. But there are various ways we could implement
this. One way would be a nagbot that sends private email along the lines
of "you haven't commented on patch X in Y months. Please remove your name
from the list of reviewers if you don't intend to review it any more."
