I know little about how NetCAT works but from an Apache perspective of
asynchronous collaboration, jira tickets might be a good way to
coordinate the NetCAT reviews: create a ticket for each main part of
the review (per-tribe?), people can create sub-tickets for more fine
grained coordination and it's easy to get an overview on activity and
status via jira queries. And NetCAT jira tickets can be linked to
development tickets which can help make both teams feel more united.

Apache projects rarely have set deadlines for releases, as those can
go against quality and people usually work on their own schedule as
opposed to being paid to do things on time. Such loose but efficient
coordination mechanisms work very well for that and quality as opposed
to artificial deadlines then drive the releases.

This is just my 2 cents, as mentioned I know little about NetCAT, but
I do know a bit about how things work in loosely coupled Apache
projects, and I feel that Apache NetBeans is getting more loosely
coupled - which does have advantages but might require some
adjustments.
