Sandy, I don't think you're quite right as far as journal reviewers are
concerned (it's different, in my experience, for books)

Larger journals often keep a database of reviewers, coded by their
expertise, and tracked according to their record and current workload

Is there a list of these 100 registered reviewers publicly posted anywhere?
And why are reviewers "registered" anyway? Normally, a journal goes to find
the best reviewer anywhere, not just limit the selection to a predetermined
list.  For a journal that claims to cover all of the social sciences, 100
would seem to be a severely inadequate number to draw upon.
