The number of review requests is far outstripping the number of volunteer review managers.
is the lack of review managers the bottleneck of the review process right now?
Maybe, reviewers start to disappear if we have too many reviews too fequently as well :-(
I`m relatively new to boost, but judging from the "notes for review managers" on the website that doesn`t sound like a lot of work. I'm planning to submit a library for review myself, and the prospect that that'd take 2 years isn't very encouraging, so I'd probably volunteer just for this reason alone.
It depends - if there's a lot of contentious discussion then producing a result and a summary of issues can be a bit of work. Other times it's a breaze 'cos it's very clear that the comments all go one way.
maybe you could regularily post a call for review managers to the mailing list, with a list and a short description of libraries in need of a review manager?
btw, I sent a request for sandbox access to boost-owner recently, to upload a preview of my library to the sandbox. does that take a while or has the process of requesting access changed? I haven't received anything so far.
My bad, there's an email invitation on it's way. John.
