Sure, but you are forgetting one wing: responsibility.

The reason many patches go a long time without review is that nobody
feels responsible for reviewing them.

If it is an area of the code we know well, an area for which we have
maintainership, or if it seems to be tangent to a pet-peeve of ours, we
will have a look at it.

But otherwise, we will have a more-or-less cursory look at it, and
assume somebody else will worry about it.

It could be decided that authority in this project comes with the duty
of doing some amount of boring review. (And doing it properly: if
Coverity goes fireworks each time somebody approves a patch, they're not
reviewing properly.)

Probably another discussion to have once we have the structures to
decide.
