Does this means we're supposed to be able to assign ourselves as 
reviewers of merge requests or is it still something you only can do? 
Right now it doesn't seem to be possible (maybe a permission issue, or 
there's a contribution threshold, or I haven't found the button).

I personally think it'd be very nice if it was open to anyone, so that 
we can indicate we're willing to review some merge request, without 
having to necessarily be the maintainer of the area first. Of course 
reviews from non-maintainers won't be the same as reviews from 
maintainers, but I think it can help with the workload.

Cheers,
