This list of requirements constitutes much more than a "a few changes". 
  It's impossible to know what what the library would like like after 
all these changes and and their repercussions were addressed.  I don't 
think we can realistically expect the review manager to verify that and 
library with all these changes is sufficiently close the current one to 
take responsibility for signing off on the final version.

To my mind, this would require a new review once all the changes are 
made.  So the appropriate recommendation in this case would be to reject 
the library and encourage the author to consider all the feedback from 
the review and re-submit.
