This may seem like a simplistic solution but here's what i do when
i send a paper out for review:

on the bottom of the form i have a slot that says:

PLEASE RETURN TO [address] by [DATE]
IF YOU CAN NOT COMPLETE THE REVIEW BY [usually two months from the
time i think that they will receive it] please SEND IT BACK TO ME,
BY [one month after they would have received it].

This same information is repeated in the letter. This allows reviewres
an easy out, and gets me my reviews in less than x years where x >1.

Granted that I am only doing this for a small volume of papers, but it
seems to be working very well. The problem is getting the promised papers
to begin with!

so why don't journals do the same things?
