Rietveld Issue (linked in the tracker)
Tracker itself
Colin says he scans all the email lists too (although I personally wouldn't
scan 'user' - only because there are already a lot of places to check if
you include bug and dev)

Anything more is just going beyond what is expected. There are often enough
eyes on things to catch patches that shouldn't be pushed but have been set
as such because no one comments. It seems that some devs like to put a LGTM
whereas others just flag problems when there is one a sort of 'new news is
good news approach'. Some parts of the code only one or two can probably
comment on anyway/

It means you find the issue on the trackjer and chang its status from
Patch-Review, to Patch-Countdown then to Patch-push. So it sounds like you
spend a lot of time in the tracker. :)

There may not be anything useful at this time - I haven't checked but Colin
said he would update the CG guide with this information (or at least what
he does) before he finishes this weekend.
