I think that if Max is prioritizing patches from new contributors, then
not everyone else needs to. (If you are able to pass on reviews of such
patches that get sent to you, so much the better.) If he's doing new
people as the highest priority, and you are doing security, then that's
teamwork :-)

However, you can understand, I hope, that if _everyone_ adopted the
prioritization scheme you have, then it would be very hard for anyone
new to enter the community.
