Open Stack

Jim and I have been talking about both of these ideas for months. We aren't lacking clever solutions to make this better. However they are lacking implementors. Volunteers welcomed.

Until such time, this is completely solvable problem by people taking and extra 5 seconds before approving a patch to merge. I expect a core reviewer to look back through the history of comments to make sure they aren't ignoring other people's feedback.

It doesn't seem unreasonable that people that core reviewers also understand that there is a lot of responsibility with that power, and what the impact on others is if you +A things into the gate.
