Hello developers,

Over the last year we've accumulated a significant review backlog. Over the
past month it has been floating around ~600 reviews.

It would be of great help if you could look through your personal list
(Dashboard -> Outgoing -> Open) and identify reviews that are *no longer
relevant* or that you are *not actively working on*.

Suggested actions:
*No longer relevant: *Please discard them with a message explaining why.
For example a link to the JIRA that was resolved already.
*Not actively working on: *Please discard them with a note that you are not
actively working on this, but to please involve you if someone picks it up
in the future. A note in the JIRA referencing your discarded review would
be much appreciated here. This way we can easily track previous effort.

Remember, discarded doesn't mean deleted. It doesn't even mean this was not
accepted. It just means we're not currently working on it. This will help
guide reviewers and new contributors to the active set we are all working
on.

Ideally as a community we can do this organically. After some time has
passed, we will go through and discard ones we think are categorized as
above with a note on how to re-open them.

Thanks!
Joris
