Some people get paid to work on OpenJDK development, others do it in their own time. It would be next to impossible to dictate any kinds of rules to enforce engagement from reviewers as this would require companies and individuals to commit to prioritizing issues that may not be in their interest to spend time on.

I *am* on of those unpaid fellows, actually. Sure, we are not the project police, and it is not about *controlling* people, but what I meant is that if we enforce "broad agreement" *piror* to a PR, then we MUST tell those people that they SHOULD react *prior* to the PR. Actually, currently many of them do not respond at all, even if they like to have a feature, as they think "I will chime in once the PR is there" (this is my recognized experience with my last PRs). So when you hold me back from PRs, the other side of the medal is that you tell all those people that they cannot wait for the PR anymore, but they MUST send at least "+1" or "proceed with PR" in the mailing list.
