" Peer review does not imply reproducibility, and it's the latter that is the problem."

I think this is the key to it, I'm suggesting that reproducibility should be part of considering something peer-reviewed, but of course as currently practised, that isn't true.

Of course in a software metaphor, that would probably cover both code review and QA, which is sometimes done by a different job role which further muddies the water.

This would be like expecting a car brand to open its code to its competitors before to release a new product. Will lead typically also to the peers rushing to publish the same discovering on disguise before the original.
