Also: I think some patches have all relevant maintainers thinking "someone 
else would be a better maintainer to review this patch [but I might or 
might not review it if still being pinged in a month]" or "this patch 
should be reviewed by someone able to review it as a whole rather than my 
reviewing only the parts I can approve" or the opposite "this patch should 
be reviewed by a set of relevant maintainers rather than using GWP".

You don't want gcc-patches clogged up with people making these indications 
that someone else should review the patch but it might be of use to have 
an off-list way of tracking such indications.
