More importantly, if there is such an offer, it'd be great to mention it somewhere, so people can know what they can do to move an issue forward. (And preferably with a link somewhere to what it means to review a patch - what it takes to make a useful and helpful review, which I'm not entirely sure of at the moment.) If there's not, is it something that could be considered? I'd love to see some downward movement on the Open Issues figure, but am not really sure what I can personally do to help.

It's such an unbalanced offer that it's understandable why it never worked. "One review against another" would be reasonable.

That said, it's not a mere issue of time. It's also that occasional contributors may not have (or may not feel they have) the required expertise to review other people's patches.

Antoine.
