While you may be able to use as many tech reviewers as you like, someone
still has to go over the tech reviewer's responses, and this takes
someone's time and effort.
Personally, as an author I'd like to get as many tech reviewers as
possible, and I'd go over them myself, rather than having my editor look
at them first. But then, that's the Open Source way isn't it....
