Couldn't (B) be done by the app? If you recall, I suggested a while ago
that the app ought to auto-email reviewers and authors after a few days
of inactivity, and then alert you if they don't respond after a couple
days more.
Anyway, I can easily see dividing the duties of assigning patches to
reviewers and keeping status updated.
