I did not notice that Noel already counted his review as part of the
three needed, I had (wrongly) in mind that three *more* than Noel were
expected. I thought that if Noel does not count, I ought to; in other
words, it should not be the case that both the author and the person
asking for cherry-pick be excluded in the count.

Sorry for the mix-up in that; if Noel counts as one of the three, it
is reasonable that I don't, although if I had to decide on the rule,
I'd prefer "need three reviews (and author counts) PLUS the person
asking for cherry-pick", because this is more regular in the face of
the situation where the author does not agree to the cherry-pick; the
current rule basically ignores the author's "not agree", while my
amended rule expects him/her to be replaced by another developer.
