We usually make a Package Review BEFORE a package goes into Fedora. Why should somebody be allowed to change something at a package being in Fedora without having it reviewed BEFORE the CVE commit by somebody else (in this case by the package maintainer)? If we drive this way, we seriously do not really need a package review, we can fix/correct stuff always afterwards. A very interesting thought, you've brought me to. This even would solve my claims regarding the Merge Reviews. And Wikipedia also works this way - so everybody can do everything (also create new pages, which equals to Fedora CVS imports) and if it's considered harmful/low quality, it's handled then afterwards. What is preventing us from letting initial CVS branchings every packager do on itself and performing no longer any package review in front of the CVS branching/import? This is a real thought, no kidding or irony. That would make us just more open as we currently are. Yes, I know you don't believe me that, after all of my e-mails now, but I really have spent some time to think about that.
