I am curious (never worked in a RTC environment); Does that mean that people turn down offers of commit rights? Does it mean that less commit rights are offered? Does it mean that commit rights are offered to those that do reviews even if they don't write much code? I mean, if I can see only downsides, then why should I bother? Perhaps bragging rights to friends are enough for first-timers, but hardly to people that have been around the block a few times...
