This is reasonable for the sort of medium-to-large patch that the author has put a lot of time into. But we also get a lot of small one-off patches where it's not so reasonable. Now of course many of those get applied right away, but not all.
Just a thought... maybe a distinction should be made between "quick-fix" patches and things that would require more review due to behavior changes or new features. Seems reasonable to treat something like HOT and a one line patch differently.
Not sure where the magic line would be drawn: size of patch, is it a bug fix or a new feature, requires extensive testing (more time), etc... I do think it is overkill to have a wiki entry for a one line patch with a 30 minute life-span (either thrown out or applied).
