we noticed that too and I spend more time every day now to make reviews
happen more quickly.
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews points out how to
help out there. http://daniel.holba.ch/sponsoring/ has an overview over
the current status.

To get something reviewed you basically just have to:

      * for main/restricted packages: file a explanatory bug, attach the
        patch, subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors
      * for universe/multiverse packages: file a explanatory bug, attach
        the patch, subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors
      * for new packages: file a needs-packaging bug
        (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New) and mark it as 'fix
        committed' if you want to get it reviewed.

Please let me know how that works out for you.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
