I've pretty much no idea how to deal with it sanely. We've moved to larger scale development model without a larger set of developers. The kernel isn't even as stringent wrt to reviews as xorg-devel is. I'm guessing we'll probably have to have review swap parties or meetings or something insane like that to clear the backlog on occasions, it would be nice if patchwork could be kept up to date, but it would involve anyone handling patches to jump on and clean up the ones they've merged already. I spent a major amount of my time either reviewing kernel patches, or persuading others to review other peoples patches so I don't have to, I'm not sure if we need some more tracking from Keith or others on what unreviewed stuff is outstanding and who best to direct it to, but again it involves a time commitment from someone and I've no idea who could afford it. Like the input guys have a bit of crossover work, the build system stuff seems to be covered, but the rest of the server is a wasteland of unreviewedness.
