[kata-dev] RFH: Help us reduce the PR backlog!

Hi All,

TL;DR - Read [1] and help review the backlog ;)

# Details

I brought up the issue of the PR backlog in the AC meeting (yet again) yesterday [2].

Seeing so many PRs being raised is great and a sign of a healthy project. However, we need help getting these PRs landed as the current review team [3] doesn't have the bandwidth to do this alone.

## Plea

Please consider helping review the backlog. Why? Here are a few reasons:

- It will help you learn more about Kata.
- You will get noticed and earn kudos from the community for helping.
- You will help the project land important improvements, features and bugfixes.

## Proposals

I've made a couple of proposals on [3] which I'll paste here for easy reading:

### "Raise 1, review 2"

If you raise a PR, please consider reviewing _atleast two other PRs_.

Every PR raised is of benefit, but you should also recognise that every PR raised also results in more work for the (very small) review team.

### Present at the AC meeting

If you have specialist knowledge that could be shared with the community, please consider presenting at the Architecture Committee meeting. This will help others to help you as others will be able to help review PRs "in your area".

Cheers,

James
