Is this exposing an issue with the review process? I don't know the FreeBSD
review process, but I do know the LLVM one. Now, LLVM has a different set
of people in the project. That means that what works over there might not
be a good fit here. I thought I'd mention it just the same.


On the LLVM project they don't allow code that is up for review to be
pushed without an explicit signoff from one of the reviewers. Period.

There's _no_ putting code up for review, waiting, and then going ahead and
pushing.

If there's no feedback for a while the person asking for the review will
add a message every week or two that says just "ping". This often nudges
people to get to the review. Not always, and it can take a while to get
code through, but that's the process.

Changes are allowed without a review if they are "obvious". If someone
pushes a change that another committer doesn't feel is obvious then the
change is reverted, usually by the person who cares. Personally, I've never
had this happen, but my non-review pushes are usually either new tests or
fixes to broken builds.
