Sure.  And specialized reviewers should not be seen as the *only* people
who can review code in a particular area.  We need cross-pollination and
restricting code review access to only specialists does not help this.

I'm sure different people have different ways of working and it won't be
till we've field-tested this stuff that we'll really know what is best.

The focus now should be on getting regular reviews — keeping the 1.18
branch in close sync with trunk — not on pushing this or that way of
doing things.

Excellent, I haven't had a chance to look at sign-off yet, so this is
good news.
