We're back again to a need for a more user-friendly UI to 
updates-testing. I was thinking of a PackageKit plugin that would add a 
few tabs. One tab would be "Rate Testing" and one would be "Testing 
Available". The "Rate Testing" would be packages you already have 
installed. The "Testing Available" would display packages you could 
update to to test.

Yes, this functionality is available in bodhi-client and I use it 
myself, but isn't it safe to say there are many Fedora users that have 
no idea what bodhi-client is or even admin.fp.o? If it's pluggable into 
PackageKit that users are used to handling packages in, it would expose 
updates-testing to more users. The plugin could also be smart and pull 
from koji if it finds the update isn't available in updates-testing yet 
for faster testing as well.
