People seem to consider the steps required to get approval a hazzle and
prefer to not commit these changes to stable branches.
Maybe bugzilla integration could be improved by having a standardized
way to get approval for a patch, maybe additional states like "requires
approval", "approved (1 of 2)" and "approved (2 of 2)".
Just some random thoughts.
