I'm personally neutral on this. I've had more experience with
commit-then-review, but as Andrei pointed out, review-then-commit is more
common in the Hadoop world.

I do think that at this point, when there are still fairly trivial changes
to be made in terms of license headers, name changes, etc, that a hard and
fast review-then-commit approach may be a little over the top. Some
flexibility definitely makes sense for now.
