It’s totally reasonable for the bot to require a reviewer line, because the bot 
requires a reviewer on the bug too.

It’s in non-bot contexts that I think it’s not good. I think that means I agree 
with you both who said that running webkit-patch on the command line shouldn't 
require it. We can have the commit bot use an option to tell webkit-patch it 
wants that rule.

As far as the confusion factor is concerned, we could change the wording of the 
"Reviewed by" line added by prepare-ChangeLog to make it more explicit.

     Reviewed by <REVIEWER-NAME-WILL-BE-FILLED-IN-HERE-DO-NOT-DELETE> (OOPS).

Or something nicer than that but with a similar flavor.
