I have been skimming the commitfest application, and unlike some of
the previous commitfests a huge number of patches have had review at
some point in time, but probably need more...so looking for the red
"Nobody" in the 'reviewers' column probably understates the shortage
of review.
I'm curious what the qualitative feelings are on patches or clusters
thereof and what kind of review would be helpful in clearing the
field.
