Right but currently you are not 'denied' to review a patch someone
didn't put for you. The custodians as done 'on-the-fly' as each
custodian takes his duties and process the patches and apply them,
later updating patchwork.

On the 'new Gerrit' workflow, if it is assigned for a branch/tree and
this is mistakenly done, how it will be done?
