What's the purpose of that? Encouraging people to voluntarily review patches? Or more people to blame?I don't really have a good idea on how to address the core problem, other than to encourage adding more maintainers. A couple of Summits ago I think we discussed the idea of having secondary maintainers: folks who may not feel fully confident about an area, but may want to chime in with an initial review which the primary maintainer could then use to help with the final review.
Some time ago I invented the obvious-because-nobody-cares rule under whichISTR that was for a bootstrap failure. Two weeks of turnaround for bootstrap failures are indeed bad enough that such a bandaid may be worthwhile. But I think that this should absolutely *not* be formalized and left for emergencies, lest it would cause more problems than it would solve.
you can apply a patch as obvious if nobody objected after two weeks.
