I've done more than skim the policy, and I agree it seems reasonable. Of course, it shoul;d be considered a first draft: once adopted, subsequent MRs and reviews over time will probably shake out things that need to be amended or clarified.
In addition, I'd suggest one area not currently addressed: the use of AI for reviewing. Ideally it would follow the same general tone as that for contributing, and include things like disclosure of use of AI tools as part of reviewing.
