What about if we thought about breaking down the job into one that
a group of people could do instead of relying on the "copious free
time" of Rich Salz to test things?  That is, why not go through the
last few years worth of sources, categorize them by type (e.g. email
related, administrative tools, editors, compilers, software development
tools, connectivity software, etc) and then post an article asking for
people interested in a *specific niche*?  Then assign a single person
to be the central point for submissions and let that person point source
that arrives at the appropriate volunteer?

To me, the problem isn't that Rich isn't doing his "job", but that there's
just too much work for a single person to accomplish in a reasonable manner,
especially when they want to keep the level of quality as high as possible.
