Yes. We want a minimum of two people looking at each patch. It's pretty
much irrelevant if the committer/maintainer is the author or not. 2*sob
or sob+rb or sob+ack, or more for more complicated things.

It's unfortunately common that the "obviously correct and trivial" patch
quickly committed by the author without anyone else looking at it is
actually buggy...

We don't have a strict rule to always send acks or rb by mail. IRC or IM
is fine too for simple things. But we want to record the acks and rb in
the commit regardless. When I push patches that got IRC review, I add
the tags, and typically reply with something along the lines of, "Pushed
with J. Random Hacker's IRC review".

That said, I do encourage explicit ack/rb messages on the lists for
non-trivial things in the interest of open development and transparency.

BR,
Jani.
