I agree, but let's not abuse this thread for that topic.

BTW, it's also good for committers to monitor the Gerrit queue of their projects.

> That way they can react on a Gerrit change before it gets merged. I would phrase this different: Project leads monitor the Gerrit queue so that they can proactively help with community reviews. IMHO projects leads are supposed to help proactively with incoming community patches. That is IMHO a very important part of being a leader.
