These are good questions.  I probably don't have satisfying answers.

The short answer is that I think people who contribute to a project
should view review as one of their duties.  For better or worse, this is
somewhat informal.

If you don't get a review in a timely manner, try posting to the
appropriate mailing list to request a review.

No.

Yes, IMO.
