It does not do that at all.  It provides proof that someone else has
reviewed it and agrees with it.  Think of it as a "path of blame" for
when things go bad (i.e. there is a bug in the submission.)  Putting
your name on it makes you take responsibility if that happens.

For some companies we REQUIRE this to happen due to low-quality
submissions and waste of reviewer's time.  Based on the track record
here for some of these patchsets, hopefully it doesn't become a
requirement for this company as well :)
