I don't see any problem with that. As long as everyone is willing to
spend SOME time on their own patch and SOME time reviewing the work of
others, the system works. After all, the time to review a patch is,
IME, far shorter than the time to develop one. But right now we have
a large majority of patch authors who are not contributing ANYTHING to
the CommitFest, and that's not so good.
