Yeah, that's definitely a part of it too - it often goes hand in hand with the lack of other reviewers thing as the two can easily feed off each other, it's a lot easier to let go if there's someone to hand things over to but if things aren't working well that can be discouraging to potential new reviewers. --idx3g6gdvk3sjqwg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAlkAuZ0ACgkQJNaLcl1U h9BKBwf+IfVISMx1x3uIqqq24IqUATzjxDBsTCivr3EvMJEWoWdNmWciep3jsALR hXfa8QrnNBkChhFDbYnxk37qvuhKM6iL/MLB0uPbLWq4ijr9jlgduss+1knyZcP9 dUZFuZLKZShL6lKYneMwy7ECLgqJ+7bTpu1fMDjKHBw1NjnWuDGcgzrZ0SVznYOe /Ej2wDbTvdVRs/ctJSPsoPQ0E8gP4H4Gzu5GU0GU2Xm95O8B5cZszLGetg7MPecW nZjdqudcLZ574C7xilKcD7CdRGCb50l6N826v/Mhb1qYQqrK5HGyd32/JtHldoin mnzvBDOXISgJCsXVRY8pzfmbQVI/nA== =qHHU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --idx3g6gdvk3sjqwg--
