What's exactly the difference?
The reviewer in {{Flickr}} has checked the
usability of the image for
Commons - whether it is a good picture, what it shows, etcetera. The
reviewer in {{flickrreview}} has checked the copyright status of the
picture - what license it is under.
[snip]
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.
