Thiago covered it expertly, but I'd also suggest giving it some more
time if specific other reviewers have expressed interest in it (such
as by repeated comments). In a case like this one, where it has been
entirely a dialogue with the person who +2'd it, no waiting period
seems necessary.

I noticed this morning that I forgot to +1 sanity review when I
approved it. If the sanity bot comments have been covered in the
discussion already, like in that patch, just go ahead and +1 sanity
review it yourself if it has +2 code review. The -1 ratings from the
sanity bot do not require a separate approver to override, it's just
raising a red flag that should be addressed in the review before it's
given +2.
