I think RFC 2434 has an interesting discussion of the
role (and limitations) of "mailing list review", and the
reasons why it emphasizes "designated expert" and suggests:

   The designated expert can initiate and coordinate as
   wide a review of an assignment request as may be necessary
   to evaluate it properly. 

draft-hansen-2717bis-2718bis-uri-guidelines-03.txt calls for
"expert review" and suggests "uri@w3.org" for optional mailing
list review.

It's easy to change this to "uri-review@ietf.org" in the document,
but we're not relying on the mailing list review as the primary
filter (for the reasons laid out in RFC2434).
