No, I'm not: _you_ are.

All I wanted to say that _my_ review time is short no matter if it's
with documentation or code patches.  In other words, I was protesting
against your saying that just my _doco_ patches are fast enough.

Please don't start that again.  I told you right there and then that
the i18n changes Andrew was referring to were going slow because of
those who made changes, not because of the review process, since my
comments on the i18n-related patches were posted at most a couple of
days after the RFA, and normally just a few hours after the RFA.

Unfortunately, your changes are outside my authority and pretty much
outside my expertise.  Otherwise, they would have been reviewed eons
ago.
