Hi,

here is my next try at an improved formal review procedure. I did away 
with the additional mailing list. The outlined process tries to reduce 
the burden on all involved as far as possible.

Procedure
---------

* The author posts a prereview request to the list. Subject line must 
contain "[prereview request]".

* The author posts review request to review wizard. Subject line must 
contain "[review request]" and
   the message should contain a link to the prereview request.
   The review request must be seconded by two boost members. To second a 
review request does
   not imply a positive review. A person who seconded a review request 
can act as a review
   manager. If nobody has volunteered so far the review wizard helps 
finding a review manager.

* The review manager checks whether the library is suitable and ready 
for review.

* The review manager sends a schedule request to the review wizard. The 
subject line must
   contain "[schedule request]".

* The review wizard schedules the review. Reviews will be scheduled on a 
first come first serve basis,
   based on the schedule request.

* The review manager announces the review.
