Probably we need to attack the reviewing problem first: That I review all block patches myself worked well as long as we were two or three people in that area, but today it doesn't scale any more without lowering the review standards - and I don't want to do that. Maybe we should introduce something like "One Reviewed-by buys you two Signed-off-bys for your own patches" ;-)
I think one thing that helps is to make sure for maintainers to include Reviewed-bys in commits. The script I use (below) takes a mbox with the full thread and folks Reviewed-by/Tested-bys into the original patch spitting out an mbox with just the patches and tags.
That way people are getting credit in git for doing reviews. It's a small incentive but every little bit helps.

I can imagine that other subsystem maintainers have similar problems. Kevin
