The question is, is reviewing patches a good place to contribute?  Also,
if I (and others) could have a "core mentor" with commit access, that
might streamline things.  As it is, I am worried that patch reviews will
pass through the ether without leaving a visible trace; that's OK and
understandable, but it's demotivating.

(I've had a very good experience with Georg and documentation commits
for GHOP.)
