Um, how about no one sticks no one's name to any patch unless it is themselves
or they are the commit fest management team and the reviewer has explicitly
OK'ed it.

Let's not begin to use several levels of "Reviewer: X", "X says: I will really
review it.", "RH says: This X is legit.", "Reconfirmed-by: X". The wiki is
weird enough to use that we shouldn't need to edit it in more than one place
for each logical step.
