This is a good move, I hope it will work so that D will keep 
contributors that are not already gone and gain new talented ones.

Another answer mentions that the lack of "issue triage" might 
cause problems.
I think to the opposite that this system could encourage

1. better triage
2. better reviews

But well, we'll see if this works next year. Let's not be 
negative ;)
