I don't like idea of sending gifts. I do like the idea of public thanks.
We should put full recognition in the release notes for someone who
reviews a patch. If they didn't review the patch, the person that wrote
the patch would not have gotten the patch committed anyway. Writing the
patch is only have the battle.

Heck, think about the FKLocks patch, Alvaro wrote that patch but I know
that Noah (as well as others) put a herculean effort into helping get it
committed.

Reviewer recognition should be on the same level as the submitter.
