I'm sorry to hear that you guys are frustrated.
This probably doesn't make you feel better, but I do regularly track how
we're doing in this area. We're currently a bit further behind than I
like us to be. This isn't a big surprise though, as we are currently
right in the middle of the peak of review activity for the entire
development cycle (leading up to the feature freeze). Otherwise, we
tend to stay ahead of our goals.
The goals we have set for Nova are to stay below the following by the
end of the work week, since the weekend skews things a bit:
* < 4 days since the latest revision
* < 7 days since the latest revision without a -1/-2
Here are the current stats for Nova:
http://russellbryant.net/openstack-stats/nova-openreviews.html
and for the archive:
> Projects: [u'nova']
--> Total Open Reviews: 377
--> Waiting on Submitter: 102
--> Waiting on Reviewer: 275
--> Stats since the latest revision:
----> Average wait time: 5 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes
----> Median wait time: 4 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes
--> Stats since the first revision:
----> Average wait time: 18 days, 9 hours, 49 minutes
----> Median wait time: 13 days, 3 hours, 35 minutes
--> Stats since the last revision without -1 or -2 (ignoring jenkins):
----> Average wait time: 8 days, 16 hours, 32 minutes
----> Median wait time: 5 days, 23 hours, 36 minutes
Despite being a bit behind, Nova is still ahead of the average review
wait times across all of OpenStack (but above the median).

In general, how do we improve these stats?
1) Make sure we have a dedicated review team.
This is something I spend time on regularly. I try to encourage those
on the team to regularly participate in reviews. For those that aren't,
they generally get removed from the team. I'm also always on the
lookout for people we should be adding.

2) Review prioritization
Reviewers choose which reviews to go after based on all kinds of things
and some get more or quicker attention than others. That will always be
the case. If there's a lot more interest in X than Y, then X deserves
more attention, honestly.
However, many of us could still do a better job prioritizing reviews.
You can find some tips on that here:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/CoreTeam#Review_Prioritization
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ReviewWorkflowTips
3) Something much more drastic
At some point we may grow to the point where we have to adopt a new
model to scale further. I don't think we're too far off. However, I
think we could stand to grow a dedicated nova-core a bit larger before
we have to take that step. We have 19 people, and not all of those are
active right now (meaning the team will likely shrink a bit soon).
