+1: building and testing eats most of the time and causes most of the
trouble of reviewing. For the easy tickets to review when you're not
knee-deep into Sage, like documentation, or interacts, or docstrings,
or simple new wrappers for previously hidden functionality,  it's not
nearly as important as discussing the code with the author, and the
testing process can turn off potential new reviewers.
