Absolutely! Peer review is critical, and what you are, I believe, refering to. Perhaps part of the difficulty here is that these two functions are being intertwined.

If the Chaim Caron is technical editor then, no, he doesn't have to have done C/S programming. If he is doing the peer review, then, yes, of course, he would need experience.
It sounds like the differences (critical, in my mind) in roles are not being clearly understood. Much like how, in traditionally run development projects, we've confused design and coding.
