Another idea: how about dropping the "review manager" requirement? Allow library author to manage the review and require a separate manager only if the votes for library inclusion are doubtful or there's less than N votes.
Review manager's responsibility is not to merely count the votes. The person has to be a reasonable expert in the field, who should see pros and cons of the library, weigh the points raised in the reviews and make an informed decision (which might be against the votes, in principle). And, obviously, the library author, despite any intended honesty, will be biased in making such a decision.
