Isn't the idea to have teams so that everyone can look at any APKBUILD
the team maintains when they have time/feel like it? I think that:

1) We'll have a hard time finding people with enough time to coordinate
a team.
2) We'll place too much workload on the coordinator instead of just
distributing the load across all members of the teams.

Also, I'm not quite sure what the coordinator would do. They could poke
someone from the team they think could review the MR, but if that
person were interested in reviewing the MR they'd probably do so when
they get the email for the team-ping on that MR. So the coordinator
would either end up reviewing the MR (defeating the point of the team)
or would have to poke indiviuals who really should just look at the
team notifications if they're interested in being in the team.
