P.S.: You are welcome to evaluate and vote on my package:
Indeed, the best strategy for developers is to lobby a bit for their
application. Open a thread on talk.maemo.org . Blog about it. Write to the
list. I hope the fellow devs won't take this the wrong way, but... this aspect
is actually a feature, not a bug, as it encourages discussion and
interaction/community building, not the fully disconnected 'dump in extras'
and 'download moar apps' approach. Obviously being delayed for months is very
bad, so we're constantly exploring ways to improve the process, but...
Maybe an automatic promotion after 4 weeks would make sense, given its
actual package karma is positive?
...the problem with automatic promotion is that then we don't really have any
guarantee that what gets to stable has actually been tested - and the testing
should be at least as much about protecting users from obvious faults as
providing feedback to developers. If we enable automatic promotion, that
actually might discourage testing due to the 'why bother, its going to get to
Extras anyway' factor.
Note that since not long ago we also have super-testers, people with proven
track records, it's enough to get three of their votes if your package is
stuck and you're good to go.
Where is the super-testers list?
I've tested a few apps - though I need to get back into the pile of apps.
