I think bugzilla would be better.

* User files patch in bugzilla, makes sure to tag the attachment as a patch
* Reviews can be done in bugzilla (or email?  I forget if that is
  enabled on sourceware, but if not perhaps we could set it up)
* A reviewer would put the bug into WAITING; we can randomly do queries
  for this and close all WAITING bugs older than a year or two
* We could have a job anywhere to query bugzilla and send out weekly
  ping reminders


To be clear, I don't object to your CONTRIBUTE change.
I have a suspicion that adding more work for the contributors is going
to mean more patches being dropped (by them), but time will tell.
