std.uni was recently accepted for inclusion in Phobos, and as
far as I'm aware there are no reviews currently in progress.
We currently have a backlog of several modules that are ready
for comments or review[1]. There seems to be no real schedule
for starting reviews other than "when someone pushes for it".
I'm ready to start a discussion on a D lexer module I've
written for inclusion in Phobos. There are several modules in
line ahead of mine, so I'm willing to hold off on this if the
authors of those other modules are ready for review.

Looks like there are no objections. I'd say you're up. Just need
a Review Manager.
Unless I'm mistaken, all that a Review Manager seems to do is
send out the announcements of the (typically 3 week) review and
then announce the week long voting period and finally tally and
post the results. I don't see why the person proposing the
module can't be the Review Manager too. I don't really see any
sort of conflict of interest when the vote is done publicly and
the vote count is usually fewer than a couple dozen.
Anyone disagree? I think it could really help move the review
queue along if people don't have to wrangle up a Review Manager.
Instead they could just post like Brian has done making sure they
aren't stepping on anyone's toes.
