MODERATORS
Would love something like this, but it's very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.
Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.
One issue I can see with the points system is that people could just approve it with a "Looks good to me!" without even looking at the code. Or just looking at a small portion of the code.
Could there be a way to award the points proportionally, based on how useful the feedback is?
But who decides that? If the person who requested it can do this, you only need a friend to abuse the system and give each other a few extra points.
Maybe a open point history could help with this and users moderate themselves with this.
