I think having a notification mechanism is likely to solve a significant part of the problem. A number of the pull requests sitting around in csswg-test for a long time were sitting there because the obvious reviewers simply didn't know about them. I think we should first try the solution that involves computers doing things (sending and storing notifications), before we decide that it doesn't work and move on to more human-intensive solutions. (Yes, there needs to be somebody keeping an eye on overall status to see where things are going wrong, and poking people to try to fix them, but that doesn't require process involving lists of formal owners. Ownership is often better managed as a description of who is doing the work rather than a way for people to volunteer to do work later.) -David -- 𝄞 L.
