It's never been customary to say "Unreviewed." in place of a reviewer.  The most common type of change that doesn't require review is a build fix, and in those cases it's customary to omit the reviewer line completely.  <http://trac.webkit.org/search?q=build+fix> provides plenty of examples of this.  The wiki page should be updated to match existing procedures.
