But I just said (above) that review times for the i18n stuff were a
few days at most, usually less than a day.

As far as I'm concerned, the committee doesn't exist.  Witness the
total lack of any reaction from committee members to any of the
arguments we had here lately about the patch review process (or rather
lack thereof).  If the committee doesn't react to such grave problems,
what would it take to get them to move?
