Just to be clear, as far as I am aware, there is no actual
*requirement* that the review manager is an expert in the reviewed
library's domain. There is a certain level of understanding of the
domain that is required to correctly assess the quality of the library
and of the reviews, but I wouldn't call that being an expert. Like
many things in Boost, this is kind of based on vibes.

In my opinion this thread is about the fact that maybe potential
review managers are hesitant to step up, because they are too hard on
themselves. This on the one hand spares us of completely inadequate
candidates, but on the other hand we have the same few people managing
reviews.
