Quim already covered why the initial idea proposed Friday (fun
character, getting out of usual habits a bit) but "more testing" is a
very convincing reason.

So let's target Wednesday, September 23th.

In any case, it's all about making sure that people actually do manage
to break out a bit of their "daily routine" and dedicate the day to
reviewing patches, instead of "I'll first have to do my daily standup
and then I need to finish that stuff from yesterday and maybe later in
the afternoon I might get to that patch review thingy". You get me.
