It's mentioned at
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/SVN_Commit_Policy#Code_review_by_other_developers
and http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/CMake_and_Source_Compatibility
(written by you :D)

However, (I'm no expert, but) I can't think of a time where you could
break source compatibility while keeping binary compatibility. Or at
least it's strange to require one but not the other.
