Thanks for doing this.  We're down to the oldest requested review
being 20 days old[1], and that's got a conversation underway.

I'm patch pilot this week, and I'll see if we can get the queue pulled
down a bit further.

In some discretionary time last week I did a patch towards DKIM
support in Launchpad[2] which may make review and participation easier
for some people.

What do you mean?  To remind us to do a release?

You're talking about superseding one proposal by another one from a
different person?
