uh, wtf?! nothing against iikka specifically (couldn't judge it), but
this is so totally *not* a reason to make someone an approver. in areas
where no approvers typically operate (mostly playground projects), we
create special-purpose groups where the involved people have the rights
they need to get the work done. approver status is supposed to be earned
by displaying reasonably universal competence within the project, not
being the only guy available to check +2 in a particular area.

fwiw, this is not the only nomination in recent times that makes me
scratch my head ...
