    Proposal: Require cross-organizational seconds for reviewer nominations
    https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47597
    
    Reviewed by Darin Adler.
    
    This changes the committer/reviewer policy to require an additional
    reviewer supporting a reviewer nomination to work for a different
    company and different project affiliation from the nominee.
    
    This means reviewer nominations would require four supporting reviewers,
    one of which knows the reviewer through the community (irc, email, bugs)
    ensuring that the nominee has the open-source collaboration skills
    we so highly value here in WebKit.
