Hi,

 >- Have an "API review board", and for

A review board would indeed be a good thing to have, not necessarily 
restricted to API reviews only.

The problem also currently is that reviewers are distracted by a lot of 
mundane things (check for compilation, compiler warnings, check 
indentation style, style issues, check for potential performance issues, 
messages, spelling, functionality smoke testing, checking autotests...), 
potentially over quite a few review rounds.

If there was a review board (supported by more automated testing) making 
sure each change passes all those criteria before a developer gets to 
see it, it would be a lot easier to focus on the API.
