Is the situation currently that we don't have a reviewer for the code? 
(Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the precise situation)

If so, I volunteer to review the code. I've spent a couple of hours 
looking through it already and I think I have a reasonable understanding 
of what's going on. I already have lots of questions/comments that I will 
write up in a separate email as soon as I have time.

I also suggest that we make a decision on release plans once some progress 
with the review has been made.
