I did see your post but my thoughts are:

1) It is not best if A is the review manager for B's library and B is 
the review manager for A's library. There is too much temptation to 
approve a library that way.

2) Understanding ASIO has proven to me to be a difficult task, albeit I 
have not spent much time studying it. As I understand it AFIO is an 
extension of ASIO for files.

3) With that last said I would be glad to be a review manager for a 
library. But My OP was prompted because I have seen little movement 
recently in the way of even calls for review managers to speed up the 
process of having libraries reviewed. Perhaps I just missed such a 
general request.
