Yeah.  In fact, it might be a good idea to intentionally *not* bring
forward the old reviewers list, as they may have lost interest.

This reminds me of a point I've been meaning to bring up: it seems to
often happen that someone adds their name as reviewer, but then loses
interest and doesn't do anything more with the patch.  I think that's
problematic because people see that the patch already has a reviewer
and look for something else to do.  Would it be feasible or reasonable
to drop reviewers if they've not commented in the thread in X amount
of time?
