Looks like there are no objections. I'd say you're up. Just need 
a Review Manager.

Unless I'm mistaken, all that a Review Manager seems to do is 
send out the announcements of the (typically 3 week) review and 
then announce the week long voting period and finally tally and 
post the results.  I don't see why the person proposing the 
module can't be the Review Manager too.  I don't really see any 
sort of conflict of interest when the vote is done publicly and 
the vote count is usually fewer than a couple dozen.

Anyone disagree?  I think it could really help move the review 
queue along if people don't have to wrangle up a Review Manager.  
Instead they could just post like Brian has done making sure they 
aren't stepping on anyone's toes.
