This is the second time the idea is raised and I like it.

Do we have anywhere near enough resources for this to happen?
That would mean first 8.5 commit-fest begins e.g. April 1st, while
hopefully 8.4 enters beta or get ready for it.

If no commiter is available for reviewed patch they just get postponed
as ready to commit on next commit fest. This way our Round Robin
Reviewers team is still at work while in beta, and more importantly
developpers still get feedback.
