Josh, I read your reviews. Yes, you have a bunch of single "Reviewed-by"
tags, but you also have a lot of emails with substantially significant
comments. What Ted is saying, is to see how many significant replies one
has. In fact, I would say if we were to automate this, each significant
reply (one with actual comments), would increase the weight that a
single "Reviewed-by" email would carry. That way people like yourself
would have more weight attached to emails with single "Reviewed-by"
than others that don't have many emails with actual comments attached.

Anyway, for consideration to KS, the top reviewers that an automated
system would produce, would only get the program committee's eyes
looking at it. It by no way guarantees an invite. No matter what
automated system is in place, at least for KS, there will always be
humans involved in analyzing that data.
