We don't have any provisions against reviewal by third-party developers already. I think the main problem (for us, of course) is that these people generally aren't interested enough to really dive in stdlib patches and proposals. For example, for the ssl module, I have sometimes tried to involve authors of third-party packages such as pyOpenSSL (or, IIRC, M2Crypto), but I got very little or no reviewing.
