I was amused by your formulation but the problem is real. One possible
answer would be to give peer reviewers a peer review grade according to
some formula designed along the lines implemented in the "karma" idea used
on slashdot (http://slashdot.org/faq/com-mod.shtml#cm700). The rating of
the ratings (meta-rating) could include a procrastination parameter and
peer reviewers could be kept informed about their "karma" and told how to
improve it...

Just a thought.
