I suspect the backlog in linked to the design summit and people taking
time off the week after. It should be gradually absorbed in the
following days.

The long-term solution is indeed smaller groups of topic-experts
reviewers being responsible for a smaller batch of reviews. In the short
term, we might review nova-core membership to make sure it still matches
people who can actually regularly commit time to the review duty.
