At the same time the process for a library submitter finding a review manager for his library seems very odd to me. One posts a message on this mailing list and hopes someone responds saying that they are willing to be the review manager. if no one responds, what does one do then ?
As Luke Simonson pointed out in another thread, authors of successful libraries ask. Approach people, that you know from discussions, directly and personally. Go to BoostCon and give a talk about your project. Meet people and ask them if they would be willing to be review manager for your library. That's most effective.
In a real way I would rather a review wizard go through a list of people which he knows are knowledgable and experienced enough to be a review manager and contact each of those people until he finds one to be a review manager for a library. It would be much easier than placing the burden of finding a review manager for a library on the library submitter.
You're not living in reality here. Why should the Review Wizards take on such a tedious work to pamper your personal project? Do you think they don't have enough pressing work to be done? Although the web-site gives a different impression, it is the most important steps for an author to find a review manager in order to get his library into a formal review. * First you find a review manager * then you ask the RVs if your RM is acceptable * then you usually get your library scheduled pretty quickly This is how things are working currently in my experience.
