No. And yes that means I volunteer. Of course that means that sometimes I'll
just be a second pair of eyes to spot any glaring stuff we don't want.
The buildbot reviews a number of things far better than a single reviewer can 
do.

Subject: [sage-devel] Reviewing package version updates (in particular, gap)

The current process of updating third-party packages is broken:

a) There isn't really anything to review beyond running it on the buildbot
b) Nobody dares to press the "positive review" button
c) Frustation to see your work waste away on trac

for example, out of the last three Gap package updates that I packaged only one 
was ever looked at. So I'm proposing that I'll just merge package updates if 
they *work* as long as there isn't too much wonkyness introduced into the build 
script. If you have any opinion on that, please post in this thread :-)

[ ]  Yes, go ahead
[ ]  No, I want to volunteer as the reviewer for package upgrades
