When I applied for funding from the Sovereign Tech Agency to work on the Git project's documentation, the main risk I flagged in my application was that reviewer capacity in the project is very limited. I tried to deal with this in a several ways: 1. I emailed a few people who had reviewed my patches in the past to ask if they would be have capacity to do review on the new patches. Patrick and Ben agreed to do some reviews which I really appreciate. 2. I applied for a relatively small amount of funding, which limits how many hours Marie and I actually spent writing. Fewer hours spent writing means less work to review :) 3. We recruited dozens of test readers to participate in a kind of side review process. That doesn't serve the same function as the mailing list review of course, but it hugely improves the final quality of the document without introducing extra pressure on Git project's reviewers. I don't know which of these strategies would apply to code changes but those are some of things I've tried so far.
