That being said, I've submitted private reviews to the author and review manager -- and yes you can do that.
Private reviews for a Boost library are entirely different than private committee discussions for changing the C++ standard. In the Boost case usage of the library collection is entirely opt-in. And usage of individual libraries is similarly opt-in. A newly added Boost library does not create additional work or obligate users. Compare this with the standard, which is not a collection of libraries or even a collection of code, but an ever-changing specification which vendors must implement in order to have a conforming system. Changes to the standard create obligations for everyone, not just vendors but the entire C++ community at the very least because programmers will have to learn and understand changes to the language itself in order to understand code.
