We already do something like this.

You'll on occasion see 'Nacked-By: ...' go by when a kernel hacker
wants to denote their displeasure with a given patch.  It's up to the
maintainer to decide how much credence to give to the Nack, based on the
relative reputations of the person submitting the patch and the person
nacking it, and any technical grounds given with the nack.

So for instance, if Al Viro sticks a Nacked-By: on a submission, it's
going to be *really* hard to get a maintainer to accept the patch, because
Al has a very long history of almost always being right about such things.
