I have to agree with Philippe here - #3 seems like the best of the 3, 
and I think #1 simply isn't an option because otherwise the owner could 
just always reject the reviewer's opinions.

I think it really comes down to basic decision making, and that seems 
like a good use of dev. I don't even think it always has to be a formal 
vote, just more of a discussion.. I mean if two people disagree 
seriously on any decision in chandler, its going to have to be hashed 
out either between those people or (preferably) in the public realm to 
set a precedent for future decisions on similar topics.
