Formal Review Retrospective

Ironically, a robust discussion regarding the review process and the usage
of Slack is now taking place... on Slack.

Arnaud made this suggestion which I am reposting here:

"... formalizing a "Retrospective" phase as an actual part of the Formal
Review could be key in avoiding criticism against the process to leak into
criticism against the proposed library."

I think this is a great idea. After each formal review result is announced,
there is a new "retrospective" thread started which allows the community to
reply and weigh in on how they thought the review was conducted. This
actually happened organically in the last review of async-mqtt5 and I think
it could be enhanced if the review wizard or review manager had
pre-emptively started a retrospective thread where the replies could be
accumulated. The subject line could for example be "[async-mqtt5] Review
Retrospective"

What do you think?

Thanks
