With a lot of bigger parallel discussions; this look like a very tiny
matter, but it's actually pretty important "rule" if you ask me. Over the
past months we have witnessed more than a few reviewers literally
"hoarding" tickets, i mean like 10-15. Naturally, they cant review them
all, and sometimes tickets hang pending review for weeks. Just because of
this I once remember waiting 3 weeks for a few lines of update ticket.

I can understand if people are busy and there is no one to review; I'll
even wait months if that's what it takes, after all it's volunteering. But
when people are complaining about "not being able to get enough tickets"
like @Trent, it's absurd to wait because of those ticket hoarders.

@Chip specifically stated that it's not a "rule" but rather common sense,
but I think it should definitely be a rule. The reviewers should be able to
get; maybe not one, but say, two-three tickets at most before completing
them.
