That is pretty sad that there are no new people - the blog post was also on
Planet.

I can finish the 18th September digest today, the next one is not ready
(commits not reviewed).
In my case, I usually do hit-and-run, so I review all that is left+write the
summary. However, when there are 1000+ commits left, it is not very
encouraging.

BTW the hit-and-run is often launched by a post on the list. As there was
nothing in at least a week, well...

Pretty much agree, but there is no solution other than more people IMO.
The question is how to get to the potential contributors.
