In the absence of any other constructive input all we can do is follow the guidance on doing a review, for what its worth I notice in the rest of LLVM there seems to be a much larger amount of commits that go in even without a review, I'm not sure what makes this area so strict, so reluctant to change especailly when revisions do seem to be reviewed.

Correct we should always be add tests and show we don't break existing tests... We need to apply the "Beyonce Rule".. "if you liked it you should have put a test on it."

We shouldn't just give up making improvements or fixing defects because something is hard or complex.
