I think Severin could be proposed as reviewer. He has enough pushes in jdk8u.
I'd also love to be a reviewer in 8u but I think my stats there are still too low (I counted 18 distinct pushes) and the outlook for growth is not so big. Maybe my track record in the jdk project would help to close the gap but I'm not in the position to assess this. ��

I only meant to suspend approvals for issues that can wait for 8u222. �� JDK-8193764 certainly needs to be approved asap.
