What he actually means is if *you* yourself help out with patch review.
Like find a set on lkml which you're interested in - I believe there
will be no shortage of such sets - and poke at it, review it, ask
devil's advocate questions, etc.

The distribution of work - gazillion submitters vs a handful of
maintainers simply cannot scale and instead of submitters pinging
maintainers all the time when they can look at their set, submitters
could review other submitters' work in the meantime, while waiting.

I.e., a win-win-win situation. :-)

Makes more sense?
