There's some relevant work going on in the "crev" project, discussed here a couple of weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18824923 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18824923 The big idea is for people to publish cryptographically signed "proofs" that they've reviewed a particular version of a given module, allowing a web-of-trust structure for decentralised code review. I particularly like how, thanks to the signatures, a module's author can distribute reviews alongside the module without compromising their trustworthiness - so there's an incentive for authors to actively seek out reviewers to scrutinise their code.
