I agree early review would be best, perhaps as early as the First Public 
Working Draft (FPWD).

FPWD publications are announced on the Member-only [chairs] list as well 
as the Public [w3c-annouce] list. Perhaps some set of PING members can 
commit to review these documents for relevant issues (and notify the IG 
accordingly)?

(Ideally, a WG that publishes a FPWD would engage directly this IG if it 
knows about issues within the scope of this IG. However, it may be the 
case that WG don't have the "right" expertise.)
