We _maybe_ increase thereby the quality, but to new packagers, that's a lot to read, understand and to handle. I definately will expect, if we drive that road further on, new packagers won't join us because of frustration how complicated we are. And as we enforce some of our "Guidelines" as rules and policy...well. Why don't we simply make Bodhi more packager friendly? Why do we really need a guideline rather solving the problem at its cause: Bodhi. Can't we request all the needed information more packager friendly? Why can't we ask for bug reports, CVEs, upstream changelog, links, summary/fazit or similar things explicitly? Currently, we have two or three input fields and that's it. If we solve things with guidelines rather taking really care of it and solving it on the right end, we're doing something very wrong.
