Right, this is also my understanding of what is proposed.

If you work on a project where you can push without review, it really doesn't 
matter how you arrived at the commit, you would have pushed your own version 
without review as well.

If you work on a project where you have to go through review, then again, it 
really doesn't matter how the commit has been created, it is still being 
reviewed.
The only difference is that the submitter of the review request is not the 
author of the commit.

Cheers,
Kevin
