To me that's a bit over the top stereotyping. > However, doing crappy work and let's not be shy about it, there is NOTHING > fun about reviewing someone else's code needs to have incentive. FWIW, I don't agree with this at all. Reviewing code can be quite interesting - with the one constraint that the problem the patch solves needs to be somewhat interesting. The latter is what I think gets many of the more experienced reviewers - lots of the patches just solve stuff they don't care about.
