This is one of the reasons I think that it might be better to:

1) Maintainers only approve the setup.hint file.
2) Upload the new package as test or new and let the Cygwin community as
a whole have a say in the package configuration.
   a) Use cygwin.com for voting for the package with comments area and
the form is mailed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   b) The package maintainer has two weeks to work the issues discussed
on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] page.
   c) If the issues aren't fixed the package is pulled.
3) Once x count votes of approval the setup.hint can be adjusted to
remove the test/new classification.
   a) base x on some percentage of the cygwin community population
count.
   b) or base x on some flat number.

Earnie.
