The bottom section about publishing is about moving it from updates-testing
to updates.  It should be made more clear.

No, IRRC.  If the package has passed QA for one OS version, but not for 
other OS versions, then after 2 weeks all versions can be passed.  This
is there so that if one SRPM is built for multiple OS versions, they won't
all hang up because only one OS version wasn't tested.  It really only 
applies when the same SRPM, or at least the same patch code, was used for
all of the versions.  If a different patch was used for the different versions,
then this probably shouldn't be applied to that case.

At least that is my memory of the situation.

Yes, currently it is one person.  But that doesn't usually matter as the
RPMs never even get the QA publish votes for them to be moved.  So one
person or 10 people, it doesn't matter if there is nothing to be moved.

And 2 weeks is a timeout if no one votes on it.  To speed that up, vote on
it.  Participation is the key.
