Jim and I have been talking about both of these ideas for months. We aren't 
lacking clever solutions to make this better. However they are lacking 
implementors. Volunteers welcomed.

Until such time, this is completely solvable problem by people taking and extra 
5 seconds before approving a patch to merge. I expect a core reviewer to look 
back through the history of comments to make sure they aren't ignoring other 
people's feedback.

It doesn't seem unreasonable that people that core reviewers also understand 
that there is a lot of responsibility with that power, and what the impact on 
others is if you +A things into the gate.
