Establishing one-day turnaround time on reviews, or on requests, would require

You poll your review queue? Like, by visiting your Bugzilla
dashboard, or something like that? That's *awful*.
I personally use a push notification system called "email with
filters". Well, strictly speaking it's poll-like because I have to
check my "high priority bugs" folder, but I do that anyway multiple
times per day so I'm unlikely to take more than an hour or two (while
working) to notice a review request.
Seriously, if your bug management system causes you to not notice
review requests very quickly, it is broken.

I find this fascinating. I am like Nick in this respect (although I
don't need to filter out review requests from other bugmail, I do use
filters for bugmail and will notice them quickly enough, generally
speaking). My email client is always open and I generally notice bugmail
more or less as it happens.
However, contemporary wisdom seems to be that people get more done if
they use pull rather than push systems. I'm not sure we should force
people to use a push system here (although I do think it'd be good to
have reviews go faster / get ETAs if they can't go fast).
