I think creating incentives to review is going to be more potent and
more enjoyable for everyone involved than punitive measures.
Indeed. I once suggested only half jokingly that we should have a
"Coder
of the month" award. Maybe a "Reviewer of the month" award would
also be
good. Seriously, the major benefit most people get from contributing
(apart from good karma and a warm inner glow) is kudos, and we should
possibly lay it on a bit thicker.
In the old days (I can't believe I said that), it was not uncommon
for a
developer to just want a thank you, some pizza and beer. I don't know
that it is much different now.
It is amazing what people are willing to do if they feel a little
appreciated.
+1.
