This seems rather subjective criteria. What is "a good understanding of the
code base"? Does that mean one module, a collection of modules in some
namespace, or the entire breadth of the source tree? What constitutes a
"good patch"?

It might be interesting to learn which and how many reviewers would be
withdrawn if a "6 month" window were invoked now. For example, how many
Apple reviewers would go away?
