I was there. During the last year or so (when the updates were still being cranked out regularly), there were about 2 or 3 folks who would review proposed updates or try to put any significant work in it.
Now there won't be a strict need for reviewers. After some time in bodhi things will get pushed, as it is the case in releases. Hopefully people will review the updates. As I said repeatedly, we won't ask more QA than what is in fedora release, and therefore not the amount that was in legacy.
Unless we get a list of 20 maintainer-capable people willing to spend time in doing security fixes (for _any_ package, not just their pet packages), we shouldn't even be wasting time discussing this.
Is there such a list? If you wish to continue with this, I'd suggest you start collecting one at a wiki somewhere, where people could sign and tell the terms under which they would be interested in contributing.
The conditions of such a project is what is discussed here. Having fedora infrastructure and fedora rules used or not is, in my opinion the most important item for potential contributors. I wanted to contribute to legacy but was deterred by the fact that another infra with another set of rules was used. And other people told the same.
