These are mostly for Craig but they're relevant to everyone, so I am sending it 
to the mailing list.  I don't know if these have been properly written down as 
part of a policy.

1. Please don't assign reviews normally.

If someone reviews your tickets, don't punish them by crushing them with all 
the other tickets you have :).  The point of having a single review queue for 
all reviewers is that the responsibility should be diffused and lots of people 
should be doing reviews.  You can always ask someone to review your tickets, of 
course, but assigning them suggests to other reviewers that they won't be able 
to do a complete job and that they should leave it to the assignee.  Assigning 
should be reserved for cases where either the original reviewer did a really 
huge review and you'd like a re-review from the same person to ensure that you 
fully understood it, or the person in question has some specialized knowledge 
because you're adding test coverage or documentation to untested/undocumented 
code that they wrote and you want to make sure you're getting it right.

2. The branch-naming convention puts the ticket number at the _end_ of the 
branch name.

For example, foo-1234, not 1234-foo.  If we re-add the automation to recognize 
branch names and update the 'branch' field in trac, getting this consistent 
will be important.

Thanks!
