I agree with Steffen here..

How about the possibility for some "gerrit managers" (or the core team
or ...) to abandon patches from others and a rule saying that patches
that have negative reviews and were not updated for 4 weeks can be
abandoned? That way you can clean the review system depending on the
patch "quality" and not only on the time frame because I think it's ok
if a patch without votes stays in gerrit (so maybe someone reviews it)
but I'm annoyed by the amount of patches with negative votes that are
neither updated nor abandoned.
Cheers,
Susi
