[webkit-dev] review queue crazy idea

[Eric Seidel]

I've never really liked trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit%20Team.  Its
always seemed more of place to brag about webkit involvement, than a
useful reference.  I think we could build a much better "who should I
ask to review this" tool based on SVN information.
