There is in fact the issue of stalling if you are the only active
committer. But if you have at least two, should not be a problem. Also it
is nothing that can't be solved by nudging (inactive) people by email. Our
rule can be that we ask another committer to review, remind all once by
private email, remind once again on the Dev list and if x days have passed
(two weeks?) and nobody answered, then you're allowed to merge it yourself.
What about that?
