IIRC, when RFC 4646 was approved, this list, and the Language Subtag
Reviewer,
started operating according to what became RFC 4646 (then known as 3066bis)
as soon as IANA had installed the Language Subtag Registry and a Language
Subtag
Reviewer had been appointed (I'm not sure reappointment is needed now).
We did not wait for the RFC editor to publish RFC 4646. The approval,
appointment,
and technical installation (of spec., reviewer, and registry) sufficed then
(again IIRC).
Would that not suffice now?

:   The Language Subtag Reviewer is appointed by the IESG for an
:   indefinite term, subject to removal or replacement at the IESG's
:   discretion.  The IESG will solicit nominees for the position (upon
:   adoption of this document or upon a vacancy) and then solicit
   ...

But, does the reviewer need to be formally reappointed at this time?
