It's up to a reviewer to judge what they think needs review for a given
patch. I'd expect review for this kind of build-many-glibcs.py patch to
be minimal and essentially independent of which component is being
updated; considerations would be along the lines of "does the patch have
any extraneous diff hunks that don't belong there?", "are there any
mistakes in the commit message?", "is the new version indeed the latest
stable version of the relevant component?", "are there any well-known
incompatibilities with the versions being used of other components that
would indicate delaying the udpate?".
