Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.

If a user sends reviews to the same set of people, it would be very
convenient if he was allowed to create groups. Right now it seems like only
the administrator can create global groups. Would be nice if individuals
could have their own review mailing lists.

I think it's overly confusing to have two concepts of groups like this.

What we should do is provide a way for users to be able to request new groups to be
added. Admins could specify whether this would be moderated or if anyone could modify
these groups.

Not for this release. Maybe the next one. It depends on future policy work.

Moving some bugs/requests to 1.7. 1.6 is intended to be a short release, and needs to be limited in scope.

This could be a great feature, as I always work on different features of a product and I want different people from different team ( already created as Review board groups ) to review my code. Now I have a text file to organize this with list of names and whenever I submit the code I copy paste it to the People text box.

But I was wondering if requesting new groups to be added by Admin could be a better idea in this scenario, as with the help of such group I try to organize myself and getting Admin involved in this could be an overhead

I hope this could be a simple personal distribution list kind of thing, where I could add / delete a list and add / delete members to it.
