From a personal perspective, the fact we have so much code to review
in the Gerrit code review queue makes it harder for __me__ to
prioritise the important patchsets and thus review them. I would
hazard a guess that such a system would help work out which patches
are important and which are just nice to haves/controversial and would
actually lead to a more healthy code review system.

If something has a -1 or -2 it needs work. No arguments. Either work
on it or abandon it and come back to it later.

As Brian says patches can be resubmitted, abandoning is a bit of a
strong word, it just removes them from the review queue making it
easier for other people's code to get review.

I think we should try this approach, see how it works, collect
feedback from developers and revisit it in a month to see if the
situation is even better.
