One has to fulfil certain requirements before one becomes a packager.
But anyone with FAS account can give karma to an update...
+1, the current policy is really flawed, we trust any idiot with a FAS
account more than our sponsored packagers (and even our carefully vetted
provenpackagers).

But this policy also prevents the misuse of power, which is also a good
thing I think. And there needs to be more than one "idiot" to make any
changes to the update which is not the case of packagers or even
provenpackagers. Which I think is really helpful since in most cases
those people are also only humans which could make mistakes.
I think this policy helps to prevent updates which break a lot of stuff
when pushed to stable, it also provides a nice and quicker way of first
contact to check if there are some issues with an update.
