The idea is to provide ways for other people to help where they can and to
provide better feedback to patch submitters so that they fix their own issues
faster. Also, lesser PostgreSQL hackers than you could take on reviewing the
"small" patches, leaving you to devote all of your attention to the "big"
patches.
Actually, that can happen with the current system. The real blocker there is
that some people, particularly Tom, work so fast that there's no chance for a
new reviewer to tackle the easy stuff. Maybe the real solution is to
encourage some of our other contributors to get their feet wet with easy
patches so that they can help with the big ones later on?
That is, if the problem is people and not tools, then what are we doing to
train up the people we need?
