A few of us came up with some proof of concept designs/models, but we
ultimately dropped the effort when it became clear the team wasn't

in such tools. We considered continuing with a tool that would work
for
individual users reviewing their own work, but there just wasn't
enough
interest for that either.
I'd be happy to help resurrect (the personal-use version of) the

if there's any chance I won't be working on it by myself...
The place for that feature to end up in is inside dak, obviously.
That feature should read its config (is it enabled? for the current
package? with which config for it?) from the database (projectb).
And then just hook itself into the part of the uploading that redirects
packages to NEW.
And then one could look if it gets implemented a bit more generic and
not NEW specific, but able to do something like this for any policy
queue. (As in, backports NEW, p-u, whatever). So, configurable per
queue. For the actual feature and the affected packages.
Any MR going in that direction will be great.
