Will we have a single person review every single commit to master, too?

And what if there are multiple branches on the same module at the same
time? Which one of these branches, or master (or release?) is going to
get testing coverage?

An alternative, of course, is to discourage use of branches if at all
possible, and rather
prefer a consistently working and stable master (which optionally then
becomes the release, without further branching)... or at the very
least not to disallow such methodology by fiat.

Thanks,
Maks
