Nearly every review request in the past has stirred discussion on the 
list. As I am see it the prereview request is a heads up to interested 
people. At least it has to generate enough interest to make people 
second the request.

In order for this to work the code needs to be available. I don't have a 
strong opinion on requirements with regard to the place where the code 
is available (sandbox, ...).
