Nice idea, but for me that sounds like a pre-election promise to lower

fact it's even worse, because time gets wasted instead of solving the
underlying or other problems (that might be bigger or smaller).
I don't think I'm up for election this time round, and I hope it didn't
come across that way.
Nope, it did not.
And just to make things clear: I didn't do much reviews(¹) when I was in
FESCo (and it was round about the same before and after being in FESCo)

definitely the right thing to do.

But I suppose some people will sooner or later just use those statements
in the meetings to do that.

By getting FESCo members more involved in reviews, we should help to
raise the profile of package review and set a good example;
Sure, that is something good. But packaging is just one aspect of the
whole game and thus I think the rule you proposed distract some of the
people from other important issues. Especially when people start to look
at the "# of reviews during the last FESCo term" when the FESCo members
runs for re-election.
[...] And it should mean that some of the
existing proposals for making reviews run smoother would get a little
bit more attention too, and thus get pushed through to reality.
Maybe. But I tend to think you get to a better results quicker if a few
people (that don't have to be in FESCo; it just makes things easier if
at least two people from FESCo are part of the effort) that are familiar
with reviewing and the guidelines work out improvements for the review
process.
