Yeah let's summarize our discussion points / rules of thumb down in the
wiki page in case we were missing anything there.

TBH we haven't done many code reviews in the past. I believe
CordovaWebView was one of the biggest features we landed since about
Cordova 1.0 that we had actually organized a code review, set up a
conference call and screenshare to join in, etc. It lived in a branch I
believe through two or three point releases just because it was a giant
feature, needed a couple rebases/merges, and failed the first couple times
we tried to merge it in.

In general, committers are trusted to be working on features that are
important to the project and will land high quality code eventually into
master. We just need that extra step of discipline of running mobile-spec
and running the native tests for affected platforms on a few devices for
sanity's sake. And as always, if you can't do this for whatever reason,
you can always reach out to the list and ask for other committers to test
out feature x on device y, or even just a smoke/sanity test on another
committer's machine, etc. before merging into master.
