Commits to core *must* have reviewers

Hi,
A lot of commits have been going by for the Windows work, and I'm glad
to see code being written in general. However, I strongly believe
that a process of code review is essential for the long term health of
any important Free Software project, of which DBus is no exception.
It's a bit unclear to me which of the Windows commits are being
reviewed or how - could one of you guys fill me in on that?
I have to specifically draw the line though for commit
39aa8090241b2588eeb2df05880d71abaf8c526e (
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?id=39aa8090241b2588eeb2df05880d71abaf8c526e
)
This function is broken in multiple ways:
* Superficially, the documentation is not capitalized and punctuated
correctly, and does not conform with the coding style (space between
identifier in opening paren)
* More importantly, "isupper" and "tolower" are locale-dependent and
in general should never be used. For more information, see:
file:///usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-strncasecmp
I've reverted this commit, and would be happy to review a replacement commit.
