org-gtd-review.el should be renamed org-gtd-reflect.el

To better reflect (!) step 4 of the GTD methodology and distinguish it from Org terminology. 'Reflect' is the current name of step 4. It is true David Allen used 'Review' previously.

In the book, both are used fairly interchangeably. What is your source for this?

The official site at https://gettingthingsdone.com/what-is-gtd/.

I believed I read the first issue of the book and he used Review then rather than Reflect. But I think we should endeavour to use the current terminology for users who have just discovered the GTD methodology.

Okay, I found this and I'm sold : https://facilethings.com/blog/en/gtd-reflecting

If we're going to rename this now, though, we need to provide aliases for all the existing functions, in order to not break users' workflows. Over time we can make them obsolete as well and eventually remove them.
