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...
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.
I have the same issues (work getting busy just at the time of an interesting review), and I think this is a good solution. It still keeps the good concentrated discussion during the review period, but gives more people time to take a proper look. I'd also like to see a policy where the docs are on the web somewhere so I can click-and-skim the tutorial or examples to see if the library solves a problem I have and is therefore worth downloading and trying out.
