If you have followed the recent discussions about gentoos organizational structure, review workflow and overlay situation you would know that there is a pretty simple solution for this problem. Review workflow will not be random/global. Some gentoo projects already have strict review workflow. You just have to map this properly to the tree. If you do that improperly, then ofc it will be crap.
