I believe I could have contributed in a non trivial manner to several reviews. However, by the time I see the announcement, download the materials, go through them, and try to keep up with the current comments, the review is over. I am so busy with work, family, coaching (American) football, and other activities, that the review periods usually seem too short (for me, at least).
This is also true for me. However, I think the review periods do not necessarily have to be extended. What has to be extended is the timeframe in which there will be no significant changes (interface & docs) to a candidate library. Libraries sometimes go through extensive changes right before the reviews start, which is probably the reason why people don't have a look beforehand. Maybe the review process should mandate a no-interface-and-docs-changes period of one month before the actual formal review starts, with announcements when this period begins?
