While I've seen Jeremy doing that, I never understood that to be the
process, and if we must discuss that again I would oppose it, as it only
adds friction to the typically small and useful patches that our
external contributors bring. 

The purpose of the review process is to ensure someone else, other than
the author, thinks it's OK.  That reviewer may want extra review (I
asked that a patch go past kai or amitay as well recently, despite being
a one-liner), but I see NO value in *requiring* the involvement in two
team members.  It just makes extra work for value.
