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.
I don't know if I was the first to do this, but I have done it. Looking at the current contents of the instructions to review managers, either they have changed since I started managing reviews or I somehow hallucinated extra words to add the user list to the lists that should receive an announcement of the review. I just looked at an archived 1.34 download of the docs. At that time, the instructions to review managers included the user list as well as the developer list, so I don't think I hallucinated extra words. I have not checked to see when the wording changed, nor do I recall a discussion about changing it. That is true both for any change to include the user list and to now remove it. John
