Oh come on, you're smarter than that: most of my merged patches are trivial.
That's the consequence of let's call them "big series" lingering on 
forever - it really demotivates to work on anything groundbreaking since 
you've gotta rebase forever to keep them sane on top of other changes 
with nothing happening to it.
How about relinquising some control? Add a new committer, maybe Yann, 
yourself or some other trusted volunteer, that way the new committer(s) 
can clean up the simple queue and leave the more contentious series for 
the more experienced ones. Maybe put on some simple ground rules like 
don't commit your own stuff and so on.
They will make mistakes, sure, but then everybody does and both Peter & 
Thomas will get some free time for their particular interests.
Otherwise we end up with these emails that make a lot of noise and then 
everything cools down and nothing changes, the scaling remains at the 
same sucklevel.
It's not a life-forever thing, if it doesn't work then try some other 
thing, but if there's no trying for some new approach evidently nothing 
will change no matter how much you push for new blood, reviews, tested 
and acks.
Regards.
