Hi, Nice idea. JFYI - This already happens, just not in a formal way, as I often get emails to check podlings releases before they bring them to the IPMC.

As we all are volunteers here, and for instance my $dayjob(s) doesn’t involve this, it can be hard to find the time, especially with other things going on. I also tend to hold off voting on podlings I've voted on before and know are good and wait until enough mentors have voted on those. Unless we removed the requirement of an IPMC and replace it with somethings else (and there have been suggested on other lists) I cannot see this part of it improving without more involvement from mentors or the IPMC in voting on releases.
