No that's right, I think I've pointed this out before, but I have
links to the searches on my release wiki
http://koha-releasemanagement.branchable.com/
(links up the top)

Of course anyone can sign off on these, if we look at the statistics
for the 3.2.3 release
http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2011/01/23/koha-3-2-3-statistics/

We can see who did signoffs for that release,
http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2010/12/22/koha-3-2-2-statistics/ for
3.2.2.  Id love to see more names in there, Ive managed to get my list
of patches awaiting testing from me down to 2, so time to start
filling that list back up again.

Get signing off people :)
