hey, wait a second!
that was very explicitly made as a TEMPORARY solution. in both the long 
discussions and the wiki we were very clear that it was temporary, and not 
acceptable as a long-term solution.

or should we have removed the review groups when gitorious got that watch-list 
feature that's apparently still a bit buggy?

ahh. so, they still have to do the enable/diable dance but they don't have to 
go to a sysadmin for it.
