From my perspective, I don't see how to improve this protocol. Sure, I could just commit, and most likely no one would complain unless I broke something, but when dealing with code that I'm not perfectly familiar with, I /want/ more pairs of eyes looking at the patch, before it goes in. Maybe no one else will look at it, but the delay this imposes still gives me an extra chance to realize if I did something stupid. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
