Thanks Stuart, Max, and Heather, But let's keep things simple and efficient (as it is right now). If we want to use bylines for all the contributions, then the next question would be whether we have to use the real names or Wikipedia user names or even IP addresses would be enough or not (IP address is enough in some of Stuart's examples).
Of course if someone wants to add their name to the review, it should be allowed (as it is now), but it also doesn't mean that others can not edit that review. Also to address concerns about the sentiment and fairness of the reviews (which is a valid concern in general), again, everyone is welcome to have a look at the draft and the pre-release version to make sure that all the reviews are at a conventional quality. Usually Dario and Tilman send a link to the draft few days before the release and that's the best time for action.
