I do not want to buffer development proccess since I cant guarantee 
quick response
at any random time. From my point of view for most of commits there is 
enough
post-commit review. Since all (most) changes go through current I have 
enough time
to fix them in case of wrong (from my point of view) change.

If you insist I could add myself to MAINTAINERS with post-commit review
just to inform that I am exist. But I doubt that this will close all 
rare cases.
