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. - robert
