We tried to formalize a system where you had to get a +1 from someone who
had volunteered as 'expert' in the subcomponent before commit [1.] but the
formalization didn't work out so well; people come and go or get
busy/distracted, etc. In practise, this is what tends to happen though;
folks review in the areas they know. If a non-expert repeatedly +1s code
they don't understand, over time, their +1 loses value...
