Sorry, but I don't think I should have to keep pinging people on IRC
or the list to get reviews for stuff that I've already submitted.
Isn't one of the functions of BB to show which patches are pending review?
IMHO it should be the RM's job to get those reviewed, in the order he
thinks appropriate, if it isn't happening naturally.
Having patches sitting in BB for months is not good for anyone - it is
creating work.  The older a patch the more likely that there will be
conflicts or inconsistencies when merging it (e.g. Vila's recent unit
test clean up will almost certainly conflict with some of the changes
in my patches).

Cheers,
Kent.
