This seems reasonable, especially if it stays relatively unobtrusive.
It would be bad to punish those who contribute great patches but only
have time to contribute, not necessarily review, and could motivate
reviewers who don't or can't often contribute to critical fixes but
would like their work added to the base.

In the end, though, one would have to see how it worked.  If this
ordering trumped the current "urgency" ordering and then things that
were urgent didn't get reviewed, that would be bad, too.

Everything is fungible, you mean... maybe we could trade them for WoW
money.  Or maybe it could be Sage points, like AMS points, and you
could use them to get a free copy of Sage.
