I think it's helped from the committers' standpoint too, in the form of
taking care of some issues that would otherwise have had to be dealt
with by the committer. (Which was all we asked for anyway.)

In my mind though, the real benefit of the system and the reason we
should keep it up is to get more people looking at the code. New
committers don't grow on trees, they come from people getting involved.
