Instead of having a specific tag, you could filter "Review Request" and 
"Formal Review" as I am pretty sure that these are required in the subject 
for requesting a library for review and for a library under review.

However, this could get complicated, so another mailing list would be 
better, even if it does mean developers having to subscribe to an additional 
mailing list.
