Sanity check, really. Typically what I'm looking for when I do reviews
is:

- does the commit message describe the problem and its solution
- does the code change look like it matches the solution described
- does the code change obviously introduce any new problems (new
warnings, undefined behaviour, memory leak, etc)

If what you're trying to say about a particular change is "this looks
sane but I don't claim to be an expert" feel free to say Acked-by
instead of Reviewed-by, either is sufficient. I'm going to at least
glance over changes before pushing in any case.
