We mostly seem to agree that it's morally dubious to approve stuff
from people of the same company, and as far as I've heard so far, it's
to ensure that the project's interests are over-ridden by company
interests (including involuntary bias, which no one is really free
from).

I believe it's assumed that fellows have the project's interests in
mind before any other work, so no conflicting bias there, i.e. not
quite the same.  If this is a possible point of dispute, we should
discuss it, of course.

Cheers,
Richard
