It will be more transaparent if all the reviews were posted to the same mailing list, maybe a specific one should be created.
A specific maillist for reviews strikes me as an excellent idea. In Joels' review of his Phoenix 2.0 library there were some outstanding contributions from people I don't see posting very often, but who apparently feel moved to do important stuff like reviewing. These comments did much to give me some historical context, and understanding of structure, alternatives and implementation decisions. These will inevitably be lost in the general background noise of on going developments, and it would be nice to have a clear place for these review comments.
Perhaps it would be sufficient to *strongly stress* that any post related to the ongoing review should have [review] in the subject line? (although that doesn't address the problem of having the review on both the dev and user lists...) Stjepan
