How about making a symlink for documents at tldp site that are under review.
Instead of going directly to the document, there would be an short interm page
that asks that the user send feedback to tldp, then have a link from
there to the real document. The symlinked page could be something like:
This document is currently under review by The Linux Documentation
Project. As part of the review process, your feedback is needed.
After reading the document, please write a short but informative
review and send it to ####@####.#### On the subject line of
your email please put "User Review: <name of document>". Reviews
that concentrate on the technical accuracy of the document will be
the most useful. The review period for this document will end on
<< some date >>. Thanks for your help.
<< link back to real document >>
