Actually, I did assign someone to do a build and specification review.
But yes, I expected that the code review would *have* to be done by a
long-term committer. I pretty much assume that of anything over 300 lines.

The idea behind having new reviewers take on all the small patches, was,
of course, to give the main committers more time with patches like
SEPostgres. It worked with other stuff (like Windowing and CTE).
