Is that necessarily the case? There's a difference between interest and 
time available from those who consider themselves qualified to be review 
managers, and interest from end user of a library.

Take an example of Xint. There were plenty of comments, suggestion and 
review the various time it was "beta'd" on this list asking for 
comments. And that's not counting the fact that a arbitrary precision 
integer library has traditionally been a perennial topic of suggestion 
for GSOC ideas. Yet, almost exactly 6 months to date, it still hasn't 
had a review manager assigned. Is that really a lack of interest in such 
a library, or more a lack of review managers?
