In my opinion, reviews are not "trust affair", they are a technical decision. You seem to think people intentionally review bad thinks, I don't agree. When I mess up a review, it is because of the illusion of knowledge. I believed I knew enough about a subject to review a patch, but my knowledge was outdated or erroneous. With time, this problem becomes worse. I believe I know the code, but I only know the past version of the code. With hundreds of patches a day, I think not contributing for 2 years means you have an outdated view of the code. ...And I am also interested in seeing if such a policy would become a stimulus for people to review more regularly. :) Benjamin
