A weak preference for (c), with (b) running a close second.  As others
have suggested, a review that leads to significant commitable changes
to the patch should bump the credit to co-authorship.

(b), the review should at least look at usabililty, doc, and
regression test criteria even if there is no in-depth code analysis.

Provisionally (b), if we first try giving proper credit, and that
still doesn't drum up enough reviewing, then look to further incentive
schemes.  No need to jump the gun.
