Two things:

(1) We already have the commit mails, which we theoretically could all
be reading and finding problems in.  Yet, I don't see a lot of followup
comments in IRC regarding typos.  Jeremy has some from time to time, and
I do too but very rarely.  I wonder how effective it's really going to
be.

(2) If we go down this road, we need to make sure it's not mandatory.
That is, I still need to be able to commit emergency things to do a
build right now without having to wait for other people to comment.
That's just the nature of anaconda development from time to time.
