It does'nt have to be auto-committed, but if 2-3 persons have reviewed and marked RTBC, the status can escalate into something like TRTBC (Thoroughly RTBC).
This is what RTBC is, adding an extra status called Really Really Reviewed and Tested by the Community and Thoroughly Ready to be Committed (RRTBCTRBC). Due to the shortage of reviewers though, patches don't always get confirmed as RTBC by two or more people, so it's not as solid as it should be - but that's a problem of lack of reviews, not patch statuses.
I agree. The people complaining about the long RTBC queue are missing the point. The point is that there's a much, much longer "needs review" queue, and there always has been. While some of those RTBC patches will eventually get committed, none of the "needs review" patches will unless we get some help. -Angie
