Many software development projects have introduced mandatory code review for every change to the code. This means that the project needs to devote a significant effort to review all proposed changes, and that their merging into the code base may get considerably delayed. Therefore, all those projects need to understand how code review is working, and the delays it is causing in time to merge.
