It’s great to have many eyes on the code, but in practice, that doesn’t
seem to be happening. Either every commit is flawless, or nobody is
actually reviewing them, since responses on `commits@` are extremely rare.

The main problem with relying solely on `commits@` is that there’s no
visibility into whether a commit has already been reviewed (and silently
approved) or if it hasn’t been looked at at all. In reality, it’s very
likely that many commits go through without any real review.
