Nice disclaimer ;-)
I wonder if it works?

No, I guess usually doesn't. Except for the few rejections where I get a direct reply from AJ, for all the rejections without a reply from anyone (which I guess are most of the rejections) I end up asking AJ on IRC. He then usually directly tells me why, possibly followed by more Q&A if I don't fully get how he wants something done or why that way.
This way of doing also tends to produce things similar to: me: "Did you take a look at this patch yet?" AJ: "not yet" or "please resend".
It also seems asking AJ every now and then about a patch, makes him more likely to not miss that patch.
Some few changes also need much pestering of AJ, persistence and a few tries each probably with contradicting and/or miscommunicated requirements. But that usualy results in a better solution.
That said, AJ does a realy good job in reviewing patches
