The distinction between "you" and "I" is artificial. Who are
"you" and "people"? Why would "you" not include you? What about
volunteering to review contributions to Gregorian music support?
This is not ironic.

No. Just look at open merge requests.

But in a volunteer project, nobody is entitled to anything,
so there is no absolute promise that every contribution will
be reviewed.

The only thing you can do is promising that _you_ will review
things.
