In order not to overload the "bug wranglers" thread too much I'm
starting a new thread.

One thing which came up in that thread is the difficulty of finding
reviewers.  I also agree that this is an issue.  For small bug fixes,
the time to find a reviewer totally dominates the patch development
time.  For big tickets, in some cases there are very few people
(possible none) who are able or willing to do the review.  Sometimes it
can happen that perfectly good patches fixing real bugs just get lost
because nobody reviews them (this almost happened to #9799 for example).

So while a "bug wrangler" team might be needed to keep the users happy,
maybe there should also be a "review wrangler" team or something to keep
the developers happy.  It would be good if there was a list of people
willing to do reviews and on which subjects.

Jeroen.
