1. Don't suggest to people that, in order to get their patch reviewed, they should review other patches. The level of knowledge required to put together a patch is much less than that required to know if a patch is the right one.

I am afraid this could lead to proliferation of low-quality patches. A patch must touch at least code, documentation and tests, be tested itself and must not break other tests. These requirements demand higher expertise.
