you are correct but that is also the easy part of reviews.
Its not what makes reviews time consuming.
Rather while reviewing for technical stuff one notices maybe a formating

We already have fully automatic build and fate tests for submitted patches
its done by patchwork which should send a private mail to the submitter of
