So fire them.  And if they aren't staff take away their permissions to
modify the tree.  There are plenty of us out there that do care and are
willing to do a good job packaging.  

Ultimately bad packagers will still be bad packagers.  This is one
problem.  There are many others that they can make.  There are dozens of
things that rpmlint warns about but yet packages still get uploaded
with pathetic rpmlint errors in them.

You have a people problem.  A technical solution will not solve your
problem.
