I would want the first person to write 90+% of the code, and really more like ~98% of it, because at some point you need to just do your job. But I like the idea of having the reviewer make the relevant changes themselves and merge it in. That's more or less what we did at the first place I worked, and the expectation was that both of you were responsible for the code. If it was more than minor changes the second person could send you notes for you to implement, but they were always the person to merge. I prefer it to the alternative of chasing someone down so that they hit "approve" so that you can go back to your desk and hit "merge."
