Thoughts on code reviews.

Hi all,
The JMC project does not formally require code reviews, in the OpenJDK bylaws
sense of the term. That said, we still have the notion of reviewers, and each
check-in must have been reviewed by someone else. We only have one active
reviewer on the project today (me), and this has proven quite limiting.
I am suggesting that we do three things:
1. We appoint Guru reviewer. Especially for all things infrastructure and
release engineering, a review by Guru is enough to push.
2. We appoint Miro author (has two sponsored commits).
3. Two authors together (with experience in the area of the code) can together
perform a review. At least for the foreseeable future. (Continuing the
summer's temporary policy.)
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Marcus
