Same advice applies. If you want your "more elaborate review system" to come into being to benefit that diaspora, and if you want it to be available in Emacs itself or to affect anything that is distributed with GNU Emacs, then `M-x report-emacs-bug' is the best way to communicate your suggestion about it. Your suggestion can include code, of course, if you have some to offer for this. And if you want that but you have nothing concrete or specific to request or offer now, and you want to invite discussion about your incipient idea that might eventually lead to something real, you can open a thread to discuss it on emacs-devel@gnu.org, the Emacs development list. In short, such developments do not fall from the sky. If you want to affect GNU Emacs then my advice is to contact those who develop and maintain it. All of this applies *IF* you care about affecting vanilla Emacs - see that qualification in the first line you quoted, above.
