I'm pretty heavily against limiting who can code review. There are some
less-than-helpful reviewers about, but putting up barriers is the wrong
way to go about fixing it.
Education is the way to go, and it's ok if there's some nominal level of
somewhat unhelpful reviews so long as, when possible, we try to teach
those reviewers how they can be more helpful.
