No, it isn't. Consider a time when the reviewers are in vacation or
something. Also nobody has the time to review all the patches that are
posted. Bruce doesn't do a quality assessment, as far as I know, when
he adds a patch to the queue. So I wouldn't expect a non-coding core
person like yourself to blindly apply any patch that makes it into the
patch queue.
