Good question! I don't gave an definite answer.

 I would prefer that the main contribution is organized by a few people; this main contribution
should then be given a full review. And then
extra small contributions are mini-reviewed. Take the string-algorithms as an example. I hope Pavol will encourage people
to add extra functions and work out their interface with him and others on the list.

I don't see the first real review happening without some group with the main responsibility. And I don't see very small
contributions happening on their own because I fear the big picture is lost.
