[steven-murray]

Hi @arfon -- sorry I missed your earlier comments!

I just took a look through the list, and here's a few possible candidates: @JohannesBuchner , @astrophpeter, @htjb , @changhoonhahn , @sambit-giri , @astrom-tom , @williamjameshandley , @mattpitkin (sorry for the spam notices!)

[mattpitkin]

I'm happy to review this.

[arfon]

@mattpitkin – amazing, thank you! I'll go ahead and add you as a reviewer now, and then start the review once we have a second reviewer (which won't be too long I hope). Does that sound OK?

[arfon]
