That's another point. Not only are there Jiras which have been waiting
for review for a while, there are Jiras out there that have been
reviewed, have been reopened as a result and have then not had
anything done with them for Some Time. Not all of them are reopened
(I'm sure of the open and inprogress ones are a result of that as
well), but there's at least some that that applies too.

I think the problem is that there is little incentive to make sure tha
tthe patch passes review once it's committed. There are probably
changes to the Jira system to make this more obvious. A 'rejected'
status rather than 'reopened' or regular summaries which are published
to the list.

I am generally not in favour of name and shame tactics like that
though. I'd rather have a carrot that encourages people to make sure
that the patch passes review, rather than a stick to beat people with
when it doesn't.
