Once we have a good workflow in place we would have to start shifting
our development culture towards requiring a review of code no matter
who the author is (which I support doing).

As for needing some point system or incentive to drive people to do
it, I don't think that would be necessary. We are lucky to have a dev
team that is friendly and respectful. I suspect that e.g., if Nick
started doing reviews of importlib patches I would reciprocate the
favour by reviewing runpy patches. Those of us who don't do reviews
would most likely then just end up with patches sitting in the tracker
waiting for a review.
