I agree that a code review is not mandatory part of a package review,
nevertheless I consider it very useful. I recall a review that revealed serious
bugs and even a security issue in one of my packages. Me and the reviewer
worked on patches and I upstreamed them before the package was released in
Fedora. This is how successful collaboration between developers and package
maintainers should look like.

Besides that, checking for basic functionality *is* definitely part of the
review checklist: "The reviewer should test that the package functions as
described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example."
