That's really interesting to know.
What I don't get from your text is: are you aware of the extra reviews
on a per-package basis, or you just noticed that tose packages are
usually OK and then discovered that the reasons are extra reviews?
I was wondering whether we could, for instance, sign with different
keys a NEW upload to notify FTP masters about the number of people
which reviewed a given package to give you "hints" (of course
according to the reputation of the signers in term of copyright review
abilities). There might be simpler ways though.
Cheers.
