You don't need to be qualified (although you certainly are) to review PR's. The 
process is anyone can review/comment on them. Non-language-changing PR's can be 
pulled by anyone on "Team DMD". Language changing PR's need to be approved by 
Andrei and I.

"Team DMD" consists of people who have a consistent history of doing solid work 
reviewing PR's.

You don't actually have to understand the entire PR in order to do reviews. You 
can do micro reviews like "needs explanatory comment", "this line is bad style", 
"this section looks like a buffer overflow", "bad formatting", "don't use 
gets()", etc.
