An email list for this is a *horrible* idea. You're proposing that something that could receive hundreds and hundreds of emails a day
Well, that remains to be seen. In any case, as I replied earlier, both talk page and e-mail list are options, and we could switch between them, or offer both, as necessary.
(assuming even a extremely tiny fraction of the 1.25 million articles or whatever get reviewed), each one possibly lengthy, and each one possibly needing a subject area layman or expert to meaningfully deal with, be sent to an extremely obscure mailing list no one in their right mind would want to subscribe to or deal with.
Perhaps some people are better at handling large amounts of e-mail than others? :-)
What this should be is a nice and easy form for adding a section to a talk page.
See my earlier response for the comparative merits of the e-mail approach.
