One of the things I'd like to work on improving in 2009 is to increase the number of reviews done by the folks that did 10 or fewer reviews in 2008, since this is where the bulk of our package reviewers lie.
Better: increase the number of people, who've done 10 or fewer reviews in 2008.
There are first-time revievers and people, who are afraid of doing mistakes in reviews and who therefore don't review anything to stay on the safe side. Encourage them to ask for a review of their review prior to approval. Reward active contributors with becoming a "sponsor", with access to the "provenpackagers" group, and with removing the mandatory review requests of package renaming.
