+1 my sentiments exactly, and this will actually help folks contribute in a more meaningful and productive way.

All the more reason to make it obvious which reviews are not being addressed in a timely fashion.  (I'm thinking something akin to the order screen at a fast food restaurant that starts blinking in red and beeping if an order hasn't been filled in a certain amount of time.)

Perhaps by making it clear that reviews are a bottleneck this will actually help to address the problem.
