Our current development model with elaborate reviews has not been

flashrom 0.9.7 our strategy on merging patches will change radically.

The current rules regarding committing to subversion can be found here:

Essentially they prohibit merging non-trivial patches without explicit
consent from another community member and is not too specific on the
requirements for an ack.

Not to add undue overhead to the project, but why not go to git and gerrit? Automates a lot of this stuff and is already setup on coreboot.org.
