There will always be patches desirable-enough that they will be reviewed whether or not the submitter reviewed other patches.

And there will often be patches that generate so little interest that they’ll never be reviewed no matter how many other patches the submitter reviews.

That said, it’s not a bad heuristic, and I suspect that someone who reviews patches is more likely to get their patch reviewed. But obviously there are no guarantees.

Best,

David
