hubert.reinterpretcast added inline comments.

================
Comment at: llvm/docs/CodeReview.rst:34
+uncertainty, a patch should be reviewed prior to being committed. If pre-commit
+code reviewes in a particular area have been requested, code should clear a
+significantly higher bar, e.g., fixes, to be commited without review.

I'd suggest a process of checking for Herald rules if I knew of an easy way to 
know how Herald would react for a commit without posting a review. I don't know 
of such a way though.

Suggestion for wording:
The likely-community-consensus is not restricted to the content of the patch 
but also includes the review process and culture, which can vary by context. A 
strong pre-commit culture in an area of the code should be respected.
