This is awesome!  I'm really happy that we are paying attention to this as
a group.  People have long and hard to put those patches, and we should try
to get them reviewed.  Please let me know what the engagement team can do
to help.  For instance, we could create reports, metrics, or whatever to
help track.  We could also ping developers in case something hasn't been
reviewed in awhile.

We can really boost enthusiasm for work on GNOME by doing things just
things like this.

Thanks for writing this post, Michael.
