I'm a bit late to respond here, but I just want to say that I hope this
library finds a review manager. Although I have not used it personally, I
have recommended it to several people for real world problems, and I have
also studied the implementation. I believe the library is unique, clever,
and useful (especially pre C++17).

There is a CppCon video about the implementation here, for those who
haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/abdeAew3gmQ
