Formally we have no really clear line on "who can do ACK/NAK" (and this
has caused a bit of friction in the past, my fault, apologies).

I tend to see ACKs as "I have stared at the code, ran some tests, can't
see anything bad in the code and the change is useful" - but usually, 
David or I do our own review and tests before actually merging.  

Depending on the "track record" of the one sending that ACK, it might be 
a very loose review, or very thorough :-)  (like, when Steffan ACKs a crypto
patch, all I do is "does it compile and pass t_client test?", but I do not
try to understand crypto library API nuances...).

Sometimes I find things in post-ACK-review that reopen the discussion,
though :-)


NAKs are maybe even more important - "watch out, this code might break
under circumstances x, y, z!" - while the reviewer only considered cases
a, b and c...

So - feel free to comment on patches you feel qualified to review!

Good enough for a start :-)
