Yes, ideally each commit must be reviewed by somebody. But what if one 
doesn't get _any_ feedback from code reviewers for weeks or even worse 
for months? What one should in that case? Speaking for myself, I manage 
such cases by sending private messages asking to do a code review and I 
feel very bad after doing this because I know people whom I talk to are 
are busy with their own stuff and they don't really want to deal with 
"problems."

I think we first need to understand why people are pushing without any 
code review. Is it just because of desperation? or is it just because of 
not caring?

Cheers,
Vlad
