I don't think it's a good idea to have random people review stuff for
random modules. Since our modules are relatively small, I think there
should be a owner/maintainer for each module so we have a minimum of
accountability. Also, the maintainer should always have an overview of
the changes to his module, so that he can maintain a good level of
consistency

Also, some modules (like tp-farsight/farstream) require specialized
knowledge so in practice only one or two people could review them
anyway.
