Patch review by coworkers

[Florian Weimer]

Hi,

Red Hat now has several people who regularly work on upstream glibc. 
This raises questions regarding patch review.


Does the community expect that we Red Hatters deal with patches from 
posting to commit, having colleagues doing the review etc.?  The 
argument in favor of that is that if something interests Red Hat, Red 
Hat should throw resources at it, and not rely on the community to do 
the work.

-or-

Does the community expect that we avoid patch review by coworkers?  The 
argument for that is that it avoids any incentive to game the review 
system, and it puts community interests first.


Note that I'm talking about the ordinary day-to-day work here, not 
patches we know or have reason to suspect to be controversial.  And if 
we err, we can still revert patches, of course.

Thanks,
Florian
