The problem here is the objectivity, or the lack of knowledge :)
Usually when I post a fix, I have tried it, it works in my image etc. But it 
happened that it breaks something hidden somewhere because of a side effect I 
wasn't aware of :)

But I totally agree with this :)
Reviewing fix can be really easy and fast :) Maybe we should also use more 
often the flag "Easy" or "Difficult".
I admit doing that form time to time, just take the "Easy" ones and review them 
:)

But in general, I think that more people should review :) And when a fix break 
something, nobody checks who was the poster or who was the reviewer :)
