Yeah. In fact, it might be a good idea to intentionally *not* bring forward the old reviewers list, as they may have lost interest. This reminds me of a point I've been meaning to bring up: it seems to often happen that someone adds their name as reviewer, but then loses interest and doesn't do anything more with the patch. I think that's problematic because people see that the patch already has a reviewer and look for something else to do. Would it be feasible or reasonable to drop reviewers if they've not commented in the thread in X amount of time? regards, tom lane
