What is the reviewer in Flickr for anyway? If the picture is good, you'll see it. If not, request it for deletion like any other one.

Your answer is right there :) The reviewer section is for people who have reviewed the image through the FlickrLickr system, which means they were pre-selected according to license and then somebody went through and chose the useful ones, which were then uploaded to Commons.
This means that the person "reviewing" them was not in fact checking the licenses, as that had been done automatically when the images were set aside for human review. Thus there will be two "reviewers", the person who chose the picture to upload and added the information/categories/etc., and the person/bot/system that checked the license.
