I rather doubt legions of people would spend time reviewing code, without compensation, that they can't run themselves. It sounds really boring and unrewarding. Where open source benefits from the many eyes, it's because legions of people already know and use the code for other reasons - they work on it themselves. At the very least, they use it.
