Well, what about spreading reviewing effort of core devs?

- if there is already a +1 from a core dev, other core devs do not test 
the issue for the time being and wait for a +1 from a non-core-dev
- if the REMINDER is sent and there is only a +1 from a core dev other 
core devs can spend time reviewing and testing

Remember, just brainstorming! (and 'should', 'must', etc. are still the 
voluntary versions of those words)

This will slow down many patches a little (max. 1 week), but will speed 
up the ones which would otherwise be forgotten.

In case of urgent patches the subject line can contain a hint to let 
every available person vote quickly. During the last bugfixing period 
before a release all effort is needed badly, so this will of course not 
apply.
