Thanks for the advice everyone! It seems that many RB community members use individuals vs review groups to mimic the ‘To:’ vs ‘Cc:’ convention. While not a direct replacement, (e.g. no easy way to cc an individual) I’m happy to give this convention a try for now since it doesn’t require any extra machinations.

This way everybody know who should review the change, and the entire group is aware of upcoming changes, which can be used for training.

Prior to Review Board, we would use email for CR, and could specify the ‘To:’ vs ‘Cc:’ headers to communicate the importance that a particular individual or group look at a piece of code. E.g. A lot of time we’ll put new team members on a CR to help them learn the code/development standards by observing, but their yea/nay isn’t strictly necessary. I’ve had several of my consumers ask about implementing similar features, and I was wondering if the RB community has tackled similar issues or requests. I searched the mailing list archives, and came across many policy enforcement threads which shed a lot of light on the issue, and RB’s somewhat hands-off approach given the complexities of different orgs different CR policies. Even so, I’m interested to know what other community members have implemented to handle ‘these people must review the code’ whereas ‘these people may be interested’ in the patch.
