It's customary to send out a 'heads up' message along the lines of "the
following patches have been on reviewboard for N days with no comments, so
I'm going to commit them on <date> if no one speaks up in the meantime"
(where date is ideally at least 24, preferably 48 or more hours in the
future) just to give one more shot to people who may have missed the
initial review request one last warning.

It's also nice to wait a certain minimum amount of time for reviews, e.g.,
the process with http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2527 where it looks like you got
a single 'ship it' from Nilay a few hours after posting and then committed
a few hours after that was pretty rushed---particularly since that whole
sequence occurred during normal sleeping hours in the Pacific time
zone---and didn't allow me to raise the issue about minimum python versions
that really needs some discussion (regardless of how it falls out).  It
seems we should have some minimum time on review board as well as a maximum
time.

If everyone agrees that these informal customs should be made official, I
can add them to the wiki.
