I don't see why we would need a review board. Just add a guideline asking 
packagers to tag their packages if they think the contents could be 
inappropriate out of courtesy toward their fellow community members.

If some packagers don't give a damn then that's fine and not a lot can be 
done about that but why not give the community the tools to self regulate?

Just because there is a general guideline does not mean there has to be 
enforcement through an iron-fisted review board.
