I didn't mean review request as in reviewboard notifications. I meant request 
for review of things moving into kde-review.

You mean multiposting to several lists, potentially ones one is not subscribed 
to?
Doesn't sound very viable to me.

Lets take for example my inquiry on interest for a scripting BoF.
I could have posted that to all module development lists, I am sure posting to 
kde-core-devel was the better choice.

Sure, but asking questions about how to use frameworks will end up on the 
frameworks list, because that's the most obvious name for people looking for 
help on frameworks.

If we feel that this will be a problem we'll need "frameworks users".

Hence writing "If there is really a need...."
