<p class="MsoNormal"> 3. All comments by reviewers should be addressed by the patch author.
<br>
It is generally expected that suggested changes will be incorporated <br>
into the next revision of the patch unless the author and/or other <br>
reviewers can articulate a good reason to do otherwise (and then the <br>
reviewers must agree).<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I disagree on the high bar here. The author should acknowledge the comments; however, addressing all of the comments in one shot has similar problems as having commits that are too large (diffs between revisions become more difficult to
review). This also leads to significant timing issues, where the comments made overnight in some time zone are addressed by the author locally, but someone added comments in the afternoon the next day before the author has a chance to post the new revision.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Then the author needs to indicate this explicitly, and except in exceptional circumstances with an explicit request, should not expect re-review until comments are addressed. It's fine to post a new version of the patch; just not to expect action by reviewers.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I see this one as a major stumbling block for new contributors - i.e. reviews get stuck because both sides expect the other to be doing something. Having it clearly documented is important IMO.
