I am personally quite tired of reviewing patches for people who don't in turn review mine (or someone's). It makes me feel like not working on this project. If we can solve that problem without implementing a policy of this type, that is good. I would much prefer to run by the honor system rather than having to threaten to drop patches, but only if the honor system actually works.
Organizing contributors on a project like this is like herding cats. Threats and penalties are unlikely to be effective. This is essentially a charity where people give in ways that work for them, and you take whatever they have to give. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the idea of a prescriptive system. I've proposed them myself in the past, but I have since come to the realization that it will simply drive people away.
