time on that with a view to committing it next week if all goes well

It's a good thing we have so many patches. We just need to organise
ourselves to ensure that we're working on priority items and spot
important things that are receiving no attention.

At this stage the CF app isn't helping us much. We need some way to
indicate who is actively working on review, not just a list of people
who have at some point reviewed it. Patches without committers will
likely suffer, so we need to be able to see the Committers column on
the display, so we know whether a patch needs one assigned.
