Not necessarily.  If kados permits it (this is a RM policy decision, I
think), then you can accept your own commit into his release branch.

As to how he's warned, that's the same sort of question as now: how is
he warned about your CVS commits?  CVS status screens, commit mails...

Paul probably knows more than most current developers: how much would
it cost?  From IRC, I think people see a more active review as a good
idea, but we don't know whether we have enough resources.
