Clearly if there are major structural problems with a patch, it isn’t appropriate, but a very common scenario is:

person a) "here’s a patch”
person b) “looks good, here are a bunch of little things to fix”
person a) “done and committed!”
person b) “woot”

If the feedback wasn’t incorporated right, the last line would be replaced with “wait, you need to do this too!” and if atrocious crimes are committed, then the patch gets reverted.  This is pretty standard with post-commit review.
