There will always be patches desirable-enough that they will be reviewed whether or not the submitter reviewed other
patches.

And there will often be patches that generate so little interest that they’ll never be reviewed no matter how many
otherpatches the submitter reviews. 

That said, it’s not a bad heuristic, and I suspect that someone who reviews patches is more likely to get their patch
reviewed.But obviously there are no guarantees. 

Best,

David
