I've been frustrated by that myself. I realize we don't want to
duplicate work but I'm really starting to think that having the
Reviewers column has turned out to actually work against us.

I haven't been thrilled with the patches that I've looked at but they've
also been ones that hadn't been reviewed before, so perhaps that's what
should be expected. It'd be neat if we had some idea of what committers
were actively working on and keep off of *those*, but keep working on
the ones which aren't being worked by a committer currently.
Thanks,
