I don't like the idea of a pool basically because of the lack of accountability.

OK, FWIW here's what I would do. No review board, just:

1) work on issue and commit changes
2) mail or IM someone asking if he would mind reviewing it
3) assign issue to person doing review and move on until issue is
either reopened by reviewer or resolved (or whatever state comes next)
4) run jira report regularly of issues in "pending review" state with
no activity for 5 days. For those issues go back to step (2) with
alternative reviewer if necessary.

I think it would be useful to get some of the other committers' views
on what would work for them.
