A bit more context:

We discussed the very issue of adjusting the review rules for nova-specs to
give all cores +2 power. But in the end we decided not to in the end.

As someone who does a lot of spec reviews, I take +1s from the right people
(not always nova-cores) to mean a lot, so much that I regularly will simply
skim the spec myself before +2ing it. If a subject matter expert who I
trust +1s a spec, that is usually all I need.

* +1/-1s from the right people have a lot of power on specs. So the review
burden isn't just on the people with '+W' power.  We may not have done a
great job of making this point clear.
* There are many subject matter experts outside nova-core who's vote means
a lot. For example PTL's of other projects the spec impacts.
