Yeah, that's a good one. One other suggestion was that we should
document the review process: both setting expectations for
contributors, and also helping to gain new reviewers by making it
clear how best to review. As well as having something documented that
the whole community can agree on and hold each other to, rather than
undocumented lore.

Having a much better documentation base and website would be great as well.

Cheers,
Daniel
