Are you saying we should have a "Review Hour" on IRC, where we walk through XX number of reviews as a team? That's an interesting idea actually, and I'd be in favor of something like this. We could rotate timeslots so as to get everyone on the team (both core and non-core) a chance to participate.
Can you attend our weekly meeting today [1] where we can discuss this as a team? Thanks!
