I don't see how. It is an 'Immutable Page'.

Actually, the surprising result for me was that from Jan 2012 up
through about April 2013, the system more or less worked. After that,
it's like the group just got out of the habit after the freeze. Given
the size of this list, it would only take a little more effort to tame
this beast.

The other thing I noticed is that there is currently a
stream-of-consciousness aspect to the process. If there is no traffic
for an RFS in debian-mentors over the last couple of days, then it
languishes. Some visibility on mentors a la the comment activity
chart, showing which entries need attention, could help greatly.
