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?".
