This is just one of many, many problems plaguing academic publishing. I've long thought a web platform with a recombination of features borrowed from Github and StackExchange could potentially solve many (maybe most) of those problems.
Last summer I was able to take 6 months off of work to build a prototype and now I'm inching it forward as a side project. It's in early beta, and I'm looking for folks willing to use it to solicit review of their pre-prints and give me feedback and direction on where it take it.
It's open source, open access, and intended to stay that way. If it gets traction I want to form a non-profit, multistakeholder cooperative (governed by its users and the team that builds it) to develop and maintain it. Though, that's a long way off.
The beta is here: https://peer-review.io https://peer-review.io
