Sweet. :)
Actually that was mainly for keeping organized and sane when conducting
my first review, and it seemed to translate well into the email when it
came time to write it up.
The appropriate sections* most certainly would change patch-to-patch --
reviewer-to-reviewer, even -- so a set template wouldn't be appropriate.
But as a style recommendation it could make sense. I'd made a mental
note to try and refine the formatting next time around, but I haven't
been back to request another yet.
On that note, and now that I'm back online and clean of Pennsic dust,
anything else in this CommitFest in need of a last minute Windows
run-through?

* I could envision having the ability to write reviews directly into the
commitfest web app, where one could define and tag sections. Then
anyone curious about a patch's performance implications, for example,
could pull down and read just the performance results of potentially
multiple reviewers. How's that for over-engineering? ;)
