I would like to echo Ben here, I think that a package experience
objective should look at how to automate the tedious manual repetitive
bits in maintaining packages and allow people to only have to deal with
things that truely need a person to look at them.  I would like to see
steps from fully automating package reviews and updates, and letting
packagers know when they have something needing attention, to
rethinking the workflows entirely. I think that there could be a lot of
tie in with the CI objective.
