I agree with John completely. It's a simple change that will give new
code developers a better understanding of where their contribution
actually is on the road to a commit. We all know the agony of having
one of your patches get RTBC... and then just sit there... and sit
there... "Ready to be committed" gives an expectation that something
will happen. "Ready for committer review" provides a more realistic
expectation.
