Yes - this is pretty much what I've been doing manually.  The problem
is that this is a bit circular.  If people don't review patches, then
that patch is stuck in limbo AND that reviewer is not available to
assign to another patch that might be thereby dislodged from limbo.
Also the fire has died down a little bit: not everyone who volunteered
to review a first patch has come back and asked for a second or third
one.
