I wonder if a "reputation" scheme would work better. Track and publicize patch submissions, reviews, and the review/patch ratio, but do not enforce any particular ratios. Perhaps provide a roundup query showing patches awaiting review sorted by the patch submitter's review/patch ratio? (in descending order)

Obviously there would be many non-trivial details to work out. I'm just brainstorming.
