That doesn't need to be true; for example, Chromium (open source Chrome) project uses this, and requires code reviews first. Right now, only you do "code reviews" - what is missing is community eyes, and more discussion; openness (the point of open source!) will over time improve the codebase. The way the Android open source project works (although that's manged by git), no person is given a checkin: rather, a "component" is assigned to codereview, which is the only thing allowed to commit (a service) - and it does so by following a review and approval by one or more of the component "admins" (owners), and then goes to commit and runs thru tests. After tests pass, then someone does integtration. The appropriate role for you would be to divest yourself of parts, and oversee integration (approve or dissaprove there). This could be no more work (different) than current, but would allow a different kind of progress.
