It exists.  We aren't using it yet because of quite a few factors.

I'm a bit confused where your date is coming from.  2 weeks seems
wrong lately.  In fact, since I took over the push stuff, it's
normally done daily or as often as the composes allow.  Right now, the
compose for f11-updates alone is 7-8 hours, so doing it daily often
just doesn't work out.  But 2 weeks seems wrong.

Also, signing server won't really help any of the above.

If by reliable you mean auto-pushed, maybe.  But that would need
auto-sign and an agreed upon schedule for updates and code.  And right
now, we have a number of things that cause backend failures which
necessitates manually fixing them.

If you'd like to volunteer to code on bodhi and fix some of these, it
would be most welcome.  With the number of people currently working on
it (2-3), it will be a while before we get to that point.
