This is exactly where it doesn't work. You, as qualified as a committer, need to do _your_ work, you have to prioritize all the review requests you get, take care of all of them. Why? Because you have them all, you should know which of them are more important than others therefore should be reviewed earlier than later. You can't wait for others to tell you, because you are a committer. Priorities are based on _your_ understanding of the code, rather than who you know better or who pings you more than others. You have 20+ committers, you should be able to handle all of these review requests, but apparently some of them are not working at all so some of them are overloaded. This is a problem you need to fix, rather than being ping'ed.
