We have the opposite problem - newcomers providing patches that get lost because they didn't know to ask for review, or didn't ask the right person (also our fault really), or because we fucked up and didn't respond. We're working on this problem too - dashboards, metrics, awareness, etc, to stop it happening in the future.
