A primary answer is that the tracker system is pretty cumbersome to use. Somebody with commits access actually has to go and download the package description files and put them on their machine in order to commit the files--we don't have a button that automatically uploads them from the tracker. It's the same reason that testing has a high latency, too. My understanding is that we're trying to get a dedicated machine to which maintainers can commit their package description files, and which will run an auto-build script to build everything from a clean Fink. We don't have it yet, though. -- Alexander K.
