7 That's not necessary, in my opinion. We already send emails, "looks OK
8 to me" and similar. And most patches don't really need more than one
9 review and an ACK by the lead.

12 Not really. We're small enough to do this organically and on a
13 per-case basis.

15 But basically, if someone authors a non-trivial patch, that person
16 should *never* push themselves. Whoever reviews it should push it,
17 adding the Reviewed-by field. The reviewer should also get an ACK by
18 the team lead (via IRC or whatever) and add that to the commit before
19 pushing.

21 In a bigger project (or with a team lead with a lot of free time...),
22 I would argue that the reviewer should send the new commit, with the
23 Reviewed-by field added, to the team lead, which then adds the
24 Acked-by field themselves, before pushing. I'm not convinced the
25 benefits of this extra step outweighs the drawback in the overhead of
26 this small community of ours.
