FWIW, the Boost review process allows reviews to be submitted directly to 
the review manager, in private, without being posted on the list. That's 
mostly a mechanism to avoid the exact same scenario as described above. I 
don't think we've ever needed it ("so far"), but it exists and can be taken 
advantage of, by those who are so inclined.
