Thomas and I discussed both options (I think [review] would be a more
appropriate tag).  The thing I like about the mailing list is that
review commentary has a value all its own, and it would be great to be
able to search reviews separately.  There'd be a GMane mirror of
course.  I also happen to think that the tag approach is more prone to
unintentional errors of omission.
