The submission review page is getting some polish! I haven't decided between "star" reviews and "yes/no/maybe". Any preferences out there?

Screenshot of the Galley literary journal CMS submission review interface. The submission is titled "Three Poems: Bilingual Identity" by Nadia Kowalski (nadia@writer.test), submitted February 10 with 1 file and 89 words. The left panel shows a file preview of "field-guide-to-leaving.docx" with partial poem text visible, a "Download originals" button, and an activity log showing the submission was received February 10, assigned to reviewer Sarah Kim on February 11, and reviewed with 3 stars on February 12. The right sidebar contains a "Your Review" section with a 5-star rating input and notes textarea with a "Submit Review" button, a "Status" section showing the current status as "In Review" with buttons for Shortlisted, Accepted, Rejected, and Received, and a "Reviews" section showing a 4-star review by Sarah Kim with the note: "The bilingual texture works beautifully. 'Don't lock it / You're not that kind of gone' is a killer closing. This poet has something." The average review score shown is 4.0.

Building out the “review timeline”. What do you think?

Activity feed for a literary submission showing a timeline of events. The submission was received on February 14. On March 9, Elena Vasquez and Marcus Chen were assigned as reviewers. On March 10, Elena commented praising the imagery in the second stanza and the movement from domestic to cosmic, and gave a 4-star review. Marcus Chen gave a 3-star review and commented that the final line feels like it’s reaching for resolution where ambiguity would serve the piece better. Below the activity feed is an empty comment text field with a pink Comment button.
