I don't think this is a problem w/ RB.
When RRs get on k-c-d, many devs who can provide an abstract review are addressed. \
They can take /this/ load from the actual maintainer/main developer. But if nobody \
feels in charge for the addressed component, you won't get an informed response.

Before Ian started the DrKonqui patches I had not seen the drkonqui code even one \
single time and my idea who worked on it was from the git history....

Bottom line: things are maintained by an individuum or not at all. If everybody is in \
charge, nobody actually is.

Cheers,
Thomas
