What about calling for a big round of processing all those PR's before
release and get those things out of the way? Working top down from the
most recent ones, you might be able to skip a few in the process. I'll
do my best to fix a few. The biggest problem is probably to find someone
to review the things for me.

I suggest that we come up with some infrastructure to discuss reviews:
Take a PR, fix it and post it for review on hackers, marked in the
subject line as 'PRR:'. When the discussions dies or comes to a
conclusion, commit the final fix.

Jordan, it would be your call to send a Heads Up message to hackers
telling everybody to take note of these messages so that we can get
proper reviewing quickly. 

If we fix the number today at 1500, let's see what the number is on
new years day. Of course most of the PR's that will be fixed are small
ones, but then again, you'll have to start somewhere.

Cheers,

Nick
