Make it async. So anyone can review stuff and record their feelings in a centralized place. We have a spare machine set up, kernel.bkbits.net, that could be used as a dumping grounds for patches and reviews if master.kernel.org is too locked down. If you force the review process into a "push" model where patches are sent to someone, then you are stuck waiting for them to review it and it may or may not happen. Do the reviews in a centralized place where everyone can see them and add their own comments.
