A better solution would be one that handles the creation of the patch and submission either via email or a web interface where people are directed towards to review patches before they are committed to svn.

It also means that it should be easier to have some web interface based software display more context around the changes being proposed as well. That would help when the person reviewing code isn't intimately familiar with the part that the patch modifies.
