Looking for reviewers

A time this doesn't work is if the packager is new, and has no
experience reviewing packages.  Granted, learning to review is great,
but someone with a little more experience should probably oversee the
review.  I know I stumbled through a few before I felt comfortable
doing some completely on my own, and still refer to experts on many.

However, this method certainly does have merit, and please don't give
up on my account.  I just know that when I was new to Fedora, that's
how it worked for me.

I also like to know something about the packages I review.  I mean, I
can rpmlint with the best of them, but since I don't run Postgres at
all, reviewing these packages (to me at least) doesn't make a whole
lot of sense.  Maybe I wrong here though.  I find that if I understand
the package, or at least the related items, I can offer a better
review; thus hopefully improving the entire Fedora experience.
