My feeling is on the contrary that the set of people having a real
knowledge of gcc (or at least of substantial parts of it [*]) is much
bigger than the set of reviewers allowed to say OK.


That's certainly true, but there's a big difference between having real
knowledge of gcc and having enough real knowledge to approve a patch.

It's also a matter of time. I wouldn't trust myself with the ability to review patches in broader areas, because I wouldn't have enough time to do it properly.
