I agree that newcomers should not be entirely responsible for finding reviewers, and I don't think that asking them to do that is entirely practical either. But it's also impractical IMHO to expect that the maintainer doesn't happen to lose track of a topic from time to time. Perhaps other seasoned contributors could step in to say, "hey, this topic hasn't gotten reviewed. Perhaps X, Y, or Z might want to chime in?". I dunno. Thanks, Taylor
