I wonder if a better way to sort this is bottom-up... you could argue that the older the review ticket, the 'less important' the package is (as if it was a critical need, it would have been reviewed.) > project.

We've had two sets of issues here: 1) No one does the merge reviews 2) Merge reviews that were done were never applied by the maintainers #2 sort of fed #1. In any case, as trying to be part of the solution, I finished off one merge review last night. I'll see if I can manage to do one a week myself... if we could get some group of packagers (sponsors, maybe?) to do the same, we might cut this down pretty quickly.
