One of the possibilities that we have been contemplating is to up the 
minimum number of VERIFIED votes in Gerrit to 2. With this scheme, 
Gluster Build System would still provide a +1 after build and basic 
sanity checks on the default configuration. Apart from that, it would 
also be necessary for one more vote (from a human mostly :-)), which 
confirms that the patch has been tested and is good to go. Please stay 
tuned as we evolve this or an equivalent policy which ensures that the 
situation you mention is covered.

Thanks,
Vijay
