Maybe this would also address overcoming the problem mentioned in the other 
emails that different subsystems have different expectations etc.

If I would have enough time to get to know other subsystems well 
(so that I can make the transistion "one-off"->"steady contributor"-
>"reviewer" -> "co-maintainer") this would defnitely reduce the friction 
between the different subsystems and also smothen out the differences.
