Thank you for the announcement.
I want to confirm if the subject of the review are the `develop` branches
(rather than the `master` branches) or Capy and Corosio. The links to the
documentation reference the develop versions. I wanted to confirm if this
is intentional.

Since we will be reviewing two libraries does it make sense to recommend
the inclusion of one and rejection of another? Can this be a possible
outcome of the review?
