This is also true for me. However, I think the review periods do not
necessarily have to be extended. What has to be extended is the
timeframe in which there will be no significant changes (interface &
docs) to a candidate library. Libraries sometimes go through extensive
changes right before the reviews start, which is probably the reason why
people don't have a look beforehand. Maybe the review process should
mandate a no-interface-and-docs-changes period of one month before the
actual formal review starts, with announcements when this period begins?
