  Yep, that's exactly the sort of thing I envisage: a two-part solution

Part 1 - Technical - A commitinfo script that disallows any commit unless
the log message includes the string "Reviewed:" and a username.

Part 2 - Managerial - Explain that this system requires all checkins to be
reviewed, that the checker-in is responsible for getting their code
reviewed, and that bypassing the system by falsely adding a 'Reviewed' tag
for code that hasn't been reviewed will be regarded as an offence every bit
as serious as forging a manager's signature on an expense claim.
