The pre-registration would also help review submitters schedule out time and 
coordinate amongst themselves an appropriate deadline that works for those 
interested. It's easy to indicate interest but equally easy to miss the 
review deadline when something regarding the day job comes up and chews up 
the week the review is going on.
