Sure... but my thought was more if it would be helpful to get the
patches that Bruce says are "easy to do" out of the way. On some of
those patches the amount of time save from eyeballing a patch to reading
an email saying someone eyeballed it doesn't seem worth it if you still
have to apply & commit it; the time saving would be in not having to
deal with it at all (thinking in aggregate values here).
