JHi Judy,
I'm not sue that I understand your suggestion. My follow-up questions are inline.

Should the bug submitter review the fix before the fix is delivered to SQE for
formal testing and verification? For example, if a writer fixes a bundled doc,
such as a man page, should the writer submit the man page for review before
checking the fixed version in the build?

Given that most of the docs against which bugs are submitted have already beeb
reviewed by engineering, when should the engineering SME review the fix? Before
the fix is verified by SQE, or at the same time?
Also, are you suggesting that fixes to individual bugs *not* be reviewed by
engineering after the writer fixes the bug? I would be very uneasy about not
giving engineering the opportunity to verify that the fix is correct.
Thanks!
