Not great apparently [1].
If this were a soccer league among openstack projects, we would have been
relegated!

As the things stand right now, I am part of the problem, due to lack of
reviews [2]
Even if we could all do with more reviews from the core team (barring the
ones who are already doing a great job), I reckon that the biggest problem
is the wait time for the first review.
A possible cause, in my opinion, lies in the review days.
Since each core has a specific area of expertise, patches for that area
might end up lying in limbo until that core's review day comes. From my
perspective, I am trying, as much as possible, to allocate a slice of my
time every day for reviews; another thing I'm doing is to pick patches from
the bottom at least one day a week to avoid starvation.
However, I desperately need to improve my react time to new patchsets, as I
often miss them. Gerrit emails are very high volume, so email notifications
often get lost. Suggestions are welcome.

Another cause are plugin-specific patches. Some of these reviews,
especially for plugins with no core members, sit for a rather long time. It
would be good if every plugin sub-team lead can nominate an "alternate core
dev" that patch authors can ping for reviews.
