Make Francois-Xavier Coudert, Thomas Koenig and Paul Thomas Reviewers?

[Paul Thomas]

On 28th May, Tobi asked the question whether I should be a reviewer; 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2005-05/msg00340.html  At the time, I was 
a bit reluctant, partly because I did not feel that I had enough 
experience and partly because of a lack of time.  I did say that I would 
review that matter about now.

The lack of time has not changed but I guess that the drift in the 
experience is in the right direction?  What has changed, though, is the 
number of active reviewers in play, which has gone down, and the number 
of contributors, which has gone up.  It strikes me that we ought to 
bolster the ranks of the former, in order that the newcomers to the 
latter are not put off.

I propose that Francois-Xavier Coudert, Thomas Koenig (if he is willing 
- I have not discussed it with him) and I be made reviewers.  We are all 
sensible enough that we can defer on contributions that are outside our 
experience or competence.  In addition, since the reviewing process is 
entirely open, there is really little prospect of disaster.  Perhaps, it 
would be a good idea, whilst we still have provisional licences, that 24 
hours elapse before our giving a green light on the list and the 
contributor committing, so that those with more experience can keep an 
eye on what we are doing?

I hope that this proposal meets with collective approval.
