Hi Kevin,

I suggest to add an "areas of expertise" (modules or JBS components) to the
list of reviewers on the Code Reviews page, at least for active Reviewers,
similarly to how it is done on the Code Ownership page.
It doesn't need to have a formal function (I brought up that idea during
the spring discussion), but would help to know who to consult with when
working on some part of OpenJFX.
