http://opensource.mit.edu/papers/Rigby2006TR.pdf

Some of the research questions are:

    What types of review does a project use?
    Why are patches rejected?
    Who performs the review?
    When are reviews performed?
    How long do reviews take to perform?

Etc.

There is a ton of interesting data in the study from a breakdown of the Linux “Pyramid of Trust” method, two reviewer model that Mozilla uses to the voting model used by Apache.

Well worth the read.
