Yes, this is of course the best option.
My only question is: what do we do about dead reviews?
Depends on what you mean by 'dead reviews'?
If you mean a review where the maintainer isn't responding, perhaps we
should look at following the unresponsive maintainer policy and/or
asking them directly if they would like to hand off maintainership to
someone else who has more time?
