The people who have the right to commit will have a more vested interest
There isn't much incentive to do reviews. There's the good of the project, but there is no pride of ownership in a review. The pride of ownership drives a lot of the initial development, and it drives the committers, but the reviewers?
I am giving up my neutral position (already...) and I must say: I agree.
I *am* sloppy but if I am given the keys to Drupal core? I will second-guess every decision of mine for sure.
Hear hear for that. Nothing like the knowledge that if you commit a screw-up, it'll be noted by core devs within hours (if not minutes), which any self- respecting dev would find at least a smidge humiliating. When reading this little part of the thread, I got this mental image of Angie and Dries each driving enormous vans along a precarious cliffside road, trying to listen to a cacophony of conflicting navigational advice (ranging in quality from "local expert guide" to "pin the tail on the donkey") mixed in with a healthy dose of griping and "ARE WE THERE YET?!?" Not intended to paint us as whiny or unhelpful. My only point: personally, I got a lot better at navigating after I started driving.
