Having the Linux process still in memory, I started thinking that maybe what we need, is a sign-off process, whereby developer A reviews other developers' patches, make comments, and when the commented-on developer (call him B) has fixed the issues that A had, then A signs off B patch. In return for the favor, B also reviews and signs off A patches. Eventually this leads to more cooperation between otherwise independent developers.
