The problem is, who approves and applies them? There's still a bunch of tickets with patches that have been voted up and that nobody committed. Someone (I think it was Doug) said that giving reviewers committer status motivates people to keep reviewing and to get more involved. I can't agree more with that statement and I think it's important to build a healthy community (one of the goals of the Apache brand). > I think this is also the de facto case.
