Out of curiosity, what's the context in which you think developers should stop doing code reviews after 3-6 months? Every place I've worked has required code reviews for all changes (except in emergencies or when the author thinks the change is trivial). For example, how big of a company are you talking about, and how critical is correctness and maintainability? My impression is that skipping code reviews mostly makes sense for early startups, internal tools, prototypes, and other situations where velocity is more important than quality, but that most companies should have pretty much all code go through review.
