That "somewhere" isn't readily available when I hit reply to the checkin email though (for me, "somewhere" is generally my python-dev archive - I think the actual mapping file is a private one on the SVN server somewhere). >> so it's usually just a matter of hitting >> "Reply" and sending the review comment to the list.

Not that I've noticed. If someone doesn't respond to a comment I've made on python-checkins I'll follow up with them directly and point out that monitoring python-checkins for responses after making a commit is an obligation of making use of commit privileges, just as much as of one as running (at least relevant parts of) the test suite before committing and then checking the buildbots to see you haven't broken anything on other platforms.
