The only net results from strict review workflow (when each commit
of each dev must be reviewed and approved by at least N devs) are
tons of bikeshedding, real quality improvement is marginal, because
people are working in different areas anyway. And if you will
consider, that strict review will require N more times effort and
spent time, actual quality of the tree will drop almost N times,
because number of man hours spent on Gentoo is approximately
constant with the same number of devs.

Really, I'm tired of that review bikeshedding and trolling.
Before continuing talks like that take a list of paper, do some
calculations, think them over.

And do not point at the Linux kernel — they have ~80% paid
developers, so they have resources for that kind of workflow.
We are volunteers here, so we don't.
