Yes other things are important too. How can the review process be implemented. I made some PR at github an it is painfull: checkout the repository to a local working copy, create a new branch for the changes, fork the repository at github, submit the changes to the fork, create a pull request, wait and see. If the base has changed, deleting the fork and recreating it for a new patch is easier then try to forward the fork base to the repository one. In summary I fear some kind of deja-vu. Anyway we need technical support for a lot of things, documentation for volunteer and a lot of how-tos about review task must be cleared first.
