What if as part of the patch submission process you had to pick the
patch you were going to review? If there are no patches to review, then
we obviously don't have a problem. If there are patches to review then
we are all set.

I guess there is the problem of there only being patches that a
submitter is not qualified to review but I find that miniscule as every
person on this list (myself included) can do a cursory review (patch
applies, docs are good, indentation is appropriate, works as advertised).

The commitfest app would have to be modified for this but what do people
think?
