There is no way to enforce this technically, it has to be an unwritten policy. 
Just like many other things in KDE, we don't always have the option to enforce 
policies. And I think it's a good like this: before reviewboard was set up, we 
had other review methods. It was the freedom to explore that later made us 
switch to reviewboard, first for Plasma, and then for the rest of the 
infrastructure.

I am really sorry you feel fooled by the KDE community, I don't think meant 
that. I really think we just have to iron out a misunderstanding on how we 
should use pull requests (i.e. not to replace our development model, but to 
close the communication bridge with possible contributors).
