Just a thought... maybe a distinction should be made between "quick-fix" patches 
and things that would require more review due to behavior changes or new 
features.  Seems reasonable to treat something like HOT and a one line patch 
differently.

Not sure where the magic line would be drawn: size of patch, is it a bug fix or 
a new feature, requires extensive testing (more time), etc...  I do think it is 
overkill to have a wiki entry for a one line patch with a 30 minute life-span 
(either thrown out or applied).
