Interesting, I like this idea.

:-)

Although I am a maintainer, I do not know some parts of the code as
well as some regular contributors do.  I do not feel overrun at all.
Actually, this will help me evaluate patches I have no clue about.
For example, take your latest patch regarding the build system.  It
looks sane to me, but I have no idea at all if it is acceptable or
not.

If I do know about a patch, I hope people remind me often enough to
have a look, in case I missed a patch in the past.
