In an IRC conversation some days ago it was Colin Watson who said "every item of bureaucracy should be justified" - this got me thinking about this process as we hear a lot of frustration about it. How do we justify "this needs two reviewers - we don't trust one of them to do it right"? Is the quality of packaging our main concern? Which parts are we most concerned about? Please decide on your own how common a situation like this is on REVU: - comment by a MOTU: "Could you add a watch file? Please move Homepage URL to its own Homepage field.", no ACK - two weeks of inactivity - upload archived - some days later: new upload fixing the issues - ... - maybe an ACK, maybe not I'm convinced that fixes (fixing the Homepage field, bumping up the Standards-Version, etc) above are written quickly once the package is in the archive and should not block an upload. We are a distributed team which maintains packages in the team and round-trips because of such things merely add frustration. It all boils down to the question: "Why don't we trust one MOTU to get it right?"
