Indeed, communication is key. I'm not sure how you envision to 
implement this though. We do send a message to first time 
contributors[1] to explain them how the review process works and give 
them very basic suggestions on how to react to comments (including what 
to do if things seem stuck). The main issue here though is that few 
people read emails, it's a basic fact of life.

Can you explain more what you have in mind?

thanks,
stef
