Unfortunately reviewing as been, ahem, a bit slow.
:-( I'd ask if the SC has had any luck finding suitable reviewers yet... I do think Fortran has about the right number judging from the latency on patch review. They have about 1 reviewer per 26k lines of code. C++ has about 63K per reviewer. And, the rest of the compiler, well, lets just say that if we compare the number of reviewers with the numbers of lines, it goes up from there I bet. If we compare with the number of actual recent reviewers instead of the theoretic maximal number of reviewers, I think the numbers go up even further. I think the SC doesn't want more global people, then, I think we should farm out the bits that are suffering from review bandwidth into new groups that may be easier to find maintainers for.
