Per GLEP 39, there is no requirement or even a recommendation for a project to be approved by Council. The Reviewers project has no special powers. Anyone can post their opinion which includes reviewing ebuilds or communicating common problems. Some of us has been doing this for some time already. The only change about having this project, really, is that there's a common contact point for people looking for help with ebuilds. This also improves the quality of reviews through sharing of ebuild knowledge between different reviewers. -- Best regards, Michał Górny <http://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/>
