Tom - and all other committers -

In order to avoid duplication of effort, we should avoid assigning
round-robin reviewers to any patches which the committers feel that
they already have adequately covered.  In order to do that, we need to
make sure we know which ones they are.  If you are taking a look at
any of the patches submitted for this CommitFest, please put your name
next to them on the wiki.  Please ALSO add a comment saying something
like "tgl says: I am reviewing this, no need to assign a round-robin
reviewer".

During the last CommitFest, we had occasional shenanigans where
someone would stick the name of a committer or other community member
next to a patch just because they had made some comments on it.  But
the person whose name got stuck there didn't necessarily know about it
or feel any responsibility to conduct a complete review.  So it would
be helpful if everyone could make sure to add a comment when claiming
patches.

Thanks,

...Robert
