Ugh,

thank you for trying to address our way-too-long review queue.

I agree, the submitter should review their own submission, but this
review should be ideally done before sending a package up for review
through a second pair of eyes.

Let's make an example, a submitter puts up a review containing
copyrighted material; this should be caught during review process. Due
the submitter will think, everything is alright, he will check that
material into SCM and we'll start distributing that.
