If you give me an automated way to find that out, I'll consider paying
some attention to it. However, in order to sort the list of patches
needing review by the amount of review done by the patch author, we'd
first need to have a list of patches needing review.

And right now we don't, or at least not in any usable way.
commitfest.postgresql.org is supposed to give us that, but it doesn't.
