Well nobody's going to give a first time contributor commit access right
away, are they? In my own experiences, going through a review of a patch
on a mailing list has been quite usefull. And isn't this how occasional
contributors to spacewalk already submit changes?

That's actually not what I meant. I mean that having people to opt-in to
review other's code by looking at a commit list is obviously not being
very effective in spacewalk's case, or else you wouldn't be looking at
other review methods. In hindsight, I didn't express this well at all.
So my first email fails review.

Nah, you're the guy doing most of the existing review, so you get a pass
here.

Anyhoo, I'm much less vested in this than you two are, so you probably
know what's more useful for you team.
