Holiday + sudden non-QEMU work items.  I'm trying to block off some time 
this afternoon but this has been a tough week for me.

It's not so easy to just distribute commit access to loads of people.  
However, we still have a pretty low patch acceptance rate so peer review 
+ testing would certainly help reduce the overall patch traffic.

So I'd encourage folks to take some time and review/test patches on the 
list.  For those that already do, it's greatly appreciated.
