I think this has already been mentioned but just to chip in that it 
isn't just about reviewing patches, patches have to be tested too. While 
I can (and have) done manual patch testing in the past before the patchy 
scripts were created - it does add significant amounts of time on my 
part to test patches this way and would mean that the times during a 
given day of the week when I could test any random new patch (or three) 
would be severely reduced.

Just sayin'
