I would like to make some suggestion to improve the review management:

Thank you for starting this discussion.

* I had notice only at the end of the the review that the review tokes place on two mailing lists (devel ans user). Maybe this is usaual on Boost reviews but I was not aware. It will be more transaparent if all the reviews were posted to the same mailing list, maybe a specific one should be created.

Yes, this is a bit of an issue. I mentioned that both lists are used in my post that opened the review (in my notes to first-time reviewers) to try to give people a heads-up (but... I often get long-winded and I'm sure it's easy to miss parts of my posts :-)).

Having a dedicated, or at least recommended mailing list (either dev or user) might be a good thing.

It has always been the -devel list, at least up until recently. How reviews began being posted to -users, I do not know. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
