Webkit policy requires all reviewers be approved openly - it’s not possible for an Apple employee to land changes without a project approved reviewer. The reality is that the majority of webkit engineers and reviewers are employed by Apple, so an Apple engineer can always talk to a reviewer in person if they’re trying to get a faster turn around. Similarly Apple employees have to go through the same nomination process to become reviewers, and are subject to the same requirements.
