While i admit we are in need of more reviewers most of those patches
are awaiting the original dev to comment/update or will never be
merged as stated by the review.

I try to review patches as quickly as i can, the cleaner the patch the
quicker it tends to get reviewed.
For something like openrisc support it is unlikely that any of the
main devs have the ability to test, so other than sanity checking we
will generally submit most things you upload for review.

Not sure this would work, and due to the size of OpenOCD would mean
more work for the few devs we have.
