The number also seems not not increase and there were 20-40 reviews completed 
per week the last three weeks. Therefore it seems that we have at least enough 
reviewers to handle the incoming packages. My proposal to reduce the backlog 
would be to have review days, where reviewers meet e.g. in an irc channel, 
where submitters can ask for reviewers. Then possible issues can be fixed 
reasonable fast and the reviews be finished. Or even better would be to have 
always an easy way to identify review request submitters, that are currently 
online/will respond to issues fast. Maybe this could be done by joining an irc 
channel, too. Maybe with a bot that can be queried for reviews of people in 
that room.
