So here's something I find interesting about this whole discussion: Everyone seems to assume the reviewers are honest actors.
It occurs to me that compromising an already-hired reviewer (either through blackmail or bribery) or even just planting your own insider on the review team might not be that difficult.
In fact, if your threat model includes nation-state adversaries, it seems crazy not to consider compromised reviewers. How hard would it really be for the CIA or NSA to get a few of their (under cover) people on the review team?
