This is EXTREMELY important. Remember that anyone can (and is
encourage to) review anyone else's branches. IMHO, the best way to
"get into nova-core" is to regularly review code for other people and
participate in the various debates on merge proposals.

There are a number of folks that already do this, and are not in
nova-core. Sandy Walsh and Ed Leafe both come to mind. And there are a
few folks that don't do reviews on Nova stuff much at all anymore.
Monty Taylor (blessed he be in all things build-related) and Chris
Macgown (blessed he be in all things earthquake related) are two that
likely can be replaced in my opinion.

Also, good point to keep in mind: Membership to nova-core isn't a
privilege or even any fun. It's a responsibility and a duty to your
fellow contributors :)
