You are completely correct. There's no reason at all why any random PyPI package can't have meaningful reviews published. I would go so far as to say that this is true without any changes to the standard library or current processes at all.
With that in mind, I'm thinking about all the various packages my colleages use. I don't think I've seen published reviews for an appreciable fraction of them in any language. This suggests that perhaps enabling reviews might not be the hard problem to solve here.
This thought process also hilights to me that the major advantage of a stdlib is that you have a higher degree of assurance that its contents have seen meaningful review by multiple sets of eyes. It's not just the potential for review that matters, it's the degree of assurance.
