Regardless of the tool(s) used, code reviews are a fantastic equalizer. If you have long time, experienced developers "submitting" to the same rules that newer contributors have to follow then it helps remove the idea that there is special treatment occurring. Of course, this is only true if the core developers do submit to the same rules.  Is anyone proposing that current core committers have all their work reviewed before it is accepted? (I am strongly in favor of this, but I don't think many core committers are.)

Having worked in this style for almost 5 years now, I am also strongly in favor. Jesse expressed it better than I could.
