Actually I think it would be useful to agree on a "standard" time
for this kind of thing. A lot of the ARM related patches I do don't
get review, and it would be nice to know how long it's sensible to wait
until I can submit them in a pull request. (I don't want to cut
short time for people to review, but I don't want them languishing
on the list for weeks either...)

We shouldn't be rereviewing pull requests -- they should be basically
equivalent to actual tree commit.

Agreed. In particular it would be nice to have a definite nominated
person who I ought to send target-arm pullreqs to, since all I know
for sure is that it's not Anthony :-)
