Yes, I know.  And when people post their reviews to apps-review
instead, you wind up having to forward them to apps-discuss.  Better
if we can fend that off.

No, I think it's fine as it is.  Obviously, you'd adjust your text
accordingly, recommending a cc to the IESG or not, as appropriate.

I think it's not.  I would mention pervasive or significant editorial
points (for example, if something is consistently wrong through the
document, or if the grammar is particularly bad, such that another
editor with better English skills should be added), but I wouldn't
bother picking small points in an early review.
