It definitely seems that the review process is a bottleneck. I see two
options:
1) Module owners are able to delegate module-owner review to people they
trust.
2) Module owners get off their arses and do some reviewing.
Remember, of course, that you always have a right to moan to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you think a module owner is not up to snuff. Enough
complaints, and that module owner will no longer be module owner. At
least, that's the theory. In the less extreme case, [EMAIL PROTECTED] can
put pressure on individual module owners.

I'll get on it mid-August :-)
