While I'm really not in favor of moving #launchpad-reviews to #launchpad-dev either, I wonder if there isn't a way to keep our current work flow and also get some of what Karl wants. We're thinking of reviews as the official channel for our work, the OCR-queue, etc. I know that often reviews happen outside of whoever is on call. Frequently, I get asked to take a look at something, or I ask one of my bugs colleagues when they aren't on call, or ask someone to look at a UI, and so on. Maybe for this sort of thing it would be okay to ping someone in #launchpad-dev, ask for the review, and then say "let's continue the review in #launchpad-reviews" -- or some similar pattern. It's just a suggestion and I don't think needs a hard rule, but it would allow #launchpad-reviews to work largely as it does now, which does indeed work very well for us, but also could allow for some of the serendipitous connections that Karl is hoping for.
