Maybe you can do something like the following.  Open up 
codestriker.conf, and set:

$email_send_options =
{
      comments_sent_to_topic_author => 0,
      comments_sent_to_commenter => 0,
      topic_state_change_sent_to_reviewers => 1
};

Then perhaps you can add an additional state, inside @topic_states, such 
as 'Reviewed', eg:

@topic_states = ('Open', 'Closed', 'Committed', 'Obsoleted', 'Deleted',
                  'Reviewed');

So when a topic is created, it is in 'Open' state initially.  Once the 
review has been completed, they can move the topic state to 'Reviewed'. 
  This will then send out an email to the author, who can then go to the 
comments page to work through the issues.

Cheers,
David
