RAT is a tool that audits source and releases for apache policy
compliance. it was developed to help incubator releases to be checked
more quickly by IPMCers. 

setting aside the fact that RAT is a long way from being feature
complete, this process isn't very efficient. issues are only picked up
at release time and a lot of time is wasted. incubating podlings are
frustrated by the time that it takes to get a release approved. IPMCers
are frustrated with time it takes to get releases fixed. 

so, it would make more sense to run this process regularly and email
lists of issues to mailing lists. 

rather than reinventing the apache continuous integration wheel it
struck me that this activity is closely related to gump and so it
possible for RAT to either hitch a ride or reuse some of the work that
gump's already done.
