Well, patches started going onto the wiki page for this commit fest
over seven months ago. Early review takes on a different meaning in
this context. I think the basic problem with the schedule at this
point is that we're releasing six months past the planned date; kinda
throws things off. The question is how to get back on track and avoid
that for 8.5.

You probably have a point in that some of the patches came from people
who might have been able to help more in the review and commit
process, but I think some people lack the confidence to take on that
role; and with the features that dragged out the release half-way to
what would have been our next release date, there probably aren't many
who could have made useful contributions to the review process.
