We all agree on that. You simply need to suggest a reviewer for some set of files that - Knows that set of files very well - Is familiar with GCC development - Is willing to review patches and be a maintainer for those files - Has made enough contributions to those files and whose work is well regarded by the developer community You'll quickly find out that this makes for a fairly small set of people. Long term, I don't think we would do us a service if we relaxed any of those requirements too much. Diego.
