Ship it? Who should be doing code reviews

This is in response to a comment I saw on reviewboard last night, but
I want to reply to the whole mailing list.

If you've ever committed code on KTp, you should be helping do reviews
and you should click "ship it!" if you understand the code and agree
with the patch. I don't want people to think "I'm not the manager, I
shouldn't be clicking Ship it". In KTp, all developers are equal, and
should all have equal powers & responsibility.

If I write a patch, and I want a specific person to review it, I'll
simply wait for a second "ship it" from someone else. If you review
someone elses code and click ship it! and I disagree, I'll simply
comment afterwards. Even if the code gets commmitted, I'll still see
the review and can fix it afterwards.

David.
