Here's the boost library ready for review: https://github.com/boost-vault/Miscellaneous/blob/master/algorithm_so rting.zip
And here's the sourceforge project (same code, but setup for running outside of boost): http://sourceforge.net/projects/spreadsort/
It's been waiting for review for a long time, but I'm open to suggestions for improvement.
Looks review-ready to me at a glance. Do you next need to find a someone to manage the review ?
Note that there is no reason that the review cannot start right now. I've been working on my www.blincubator.com just to address this situation. This would permit those who need the library right now to try it out and post their experience in anticipation of any review. That it - it is intended to "de-couple" the evaluation/information gathering aspect of the review from a specifice one/two week time frame.
I want to continue and enhance the www.blincubator site - I just need more incentive to get it moving up the heap.
I strongly agree with your suggestions, but worry that it is splintering from the Boost site. The GITerization of Boost will change so much. So I think we should get that under our belts before making any changes to the review process. Since authors will then be much more in charge of their destiny on *their* GIT repos, they can start to do the things you rightly say are needed to improve software and, especially, documentation, and the information available for reviews.
