I appreciate lack of review managers gates the number of new libraries in Boost [1].
But, to be blunt, Boost is about *popular* libraries. If a library can't find a review manager, not enough enough of an itch is there to be scratched. That's the whole point of having review managers, to filter out too-niche libraries.
[1] I really, really, really, really wish Boost would expunge the undermaintained libraries already. They waste productivity for so many people out there who think they're using a Boost quality library, when they're not, and get badly burned for it.

Could you be more specific? Which libraries need attention? If you want to reply directly I can work with the CMT to assess. Issues like this need to be brought up on the mailing list if folks thing something is being neglected. We do have some procedures for dealing with this. I know we need to find new homes for libraries that Beman was maintaining. We're removing Boost.Signals(v1) in 1.69.0. It was deprecated for.. a long time. (too long...) - Jim
