Additional anecdata: At my place of employment, after the required code review, we must write an essay about the change and have at least two coworkers approve it. Then we must email the essay to a mailing list of several hundred people. One of those people is the designated external reviewer, who must sign off. However, lately, this final reviewer has been requesting 10+ modifications to the deployment essay due to a managerial decision to "improve deployments". Moreover, deployments are not allowed 1/4th of the year unless a vice president has signed off.

Any code change requires this process.
