In 2012 point Martin Löwis had a "5-for-1" review standing offer:
anyone who reviewed five patches could get a review for a patch of
their choosing. Maybe something of the sort could work? As a
still-junior core-dev, having a way to get certain PRs I'd like to
push be reviewed by experienced core-devs would be great. Requiring me
to reduce the general review workload seems like a fair way to balance
things out.

Since I'm still not experienced enough for my review to carry very
much weight, I'd be willing to try this on a 1-to-1 basis: review any
PR or b.p.o. issue, and I'll review one of your choosing.
