That last thing was another item I found useful in the previous life.  When 
requesting a review from somebody, people could see "this person currently has 
X items in their review queue".  You can ignore that information, but it's 
there and it may help.  It's still probably simpler for the reviewer to know 
they're too busy, notify the author, and help them find somebody else if they 
can't agree on the timeframe.
