how to pre-screen patch submissions from a newbie janitor?

not that long ago, i suggested cleaning up the MTD Kconfig/Makefile
structure since there was some definite redundancy in the inclusion of
source files and subdirectories. now, i could whip up those patches
myself and submit them, but i have a local friend who's itching to get
start doing some simple kernel work and submitting some patches, and
he's more than smart enough to do what i described above.
however, since he's new to patch creation and submission, i offered
to "vet" his patches first. i realize that my vetting carries no
weight on the MTD list, but given that i've submitted lots and lots of
patches elsewhere, i can still at least sanity check what he comes up
with before it hits the list.
is there a canonical signage for that nowadays? is it "Reviewed-By"
or something like that? so that by the time it gets to the MTD list,
he would have done the "Signed-Off-By" and i'd sign off as a reviewer.
is that the way it works? or is there an alternative? thanks.
