SIGGRAPH uses a form of voluntary review tracking. Authors can voluntarily request that their reviews of a rejected paper be forwarded to other venues, including next year's conference. They can then write a cover letter indicating how they addressed the reviewers' concerns. The hope is that this makes subsequent reviewing much easier. The scheme is voluntary so as to give authors the chance to escape from reviewers they may judge as biased or uninformed.
In a variant of this scheme, some authors are given a conditional accept to ACM TOG based on their conference-submission reviews. This is typically done for those small number of papers that are of high quality, but not quite complete. In effect, it means that the conference reviewing is the first round of a standard journal review, hence it's a form of review tracking from the conference to the journal.
