Just changing the subject lines to be more suitable would help, but
given the painful thread it's probably worth going the extra step if
the lack of these reviews is a causing problems - I know that even with
a suitable subject line if I'm busy then I'm fairly likely to zone out
something in the middle a big series that doesn't seem to be going
anywhere.
