Yep, you get alittle bit of this from code control, but not always  
(people check in massive sets of changes)

If I had the skillz/time, I would have a development system that  
integrated the changes system, and monticello (with many  
improvements) and the browser.

1) You can't make a class without a comment.  sorry
2) You can't save a method without a comment.  sorry  The comments  
would be stored with the changes info
3) the source system would implement moderation automatically.  So  
developer A checks  chnages into the repository, but they are  
automatically marked as needing moderation (much like a blog).   
Moderator says "hey, 'cuz I could' is not a valid comment" and clicks  
reject"  Developer gets email saying so sad, so bad.  Maybe  
developer's boss, too.  the entire checkin is put on hold until that  
method is fixed, and all subsequent checkins are on hold too.  Really  
puts the importance on the comments and penalizes the lazy people  
severely.
