I spent a bit of time recently trying to clean up the oldest package review tickets, making sure links are accessible and the submitted packages actually build. At this point I think all of the tickets in http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEW.html older than May 2012 should actually be reviewable. Of course, I make no determination as to whether the submitted packages are in any state to actually make it into the distribution.
So, please, if you can review, do have a look, and if you're a sponsor, try and help out one of the poor people who have been waiting up to two years to become a contributor.
Next steps for me are to work forward six months, so everything older than October is cleaned up and reviewable. And, of course, to actually find the time to review some tickets.

1) What about those old merge requests?
2) Why is not on that list some packages which are still waiting for review. E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449360

Don't know; didn't do merge requests. You or anyone else is of course welcome to look at the list; there's a whole report for them.

Because it depends on an open ticket. No point in reviewing things that depend on get finished.
