A few fronts explained: * The PUBLISH list - http://tinyurl.com/6jtlb This bugzilla query lists approved packages which will be built and put in the "pending" repository, and packages which have been built already and which wait for final verification before they are published in the main repository. ( http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#approve ) It something in e.g. the "pending/stable" repository causes trouble, that would be a good reason to reopen the corresponding package request ticket in bugzilla and block the package from being published. * The REVIEWED list - http://tinyurl.com/5dmpl This query lists packages which need approval from an additional person. ( http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#review ) * The UPDATE list - http://tinyurl.com/6679q This query lists update package requests, which often are considerably easier to review, because an older version of a package exists in the repository already and can be compared with. * The NEEDSWORK list - http://tinyurl.com/4l6my Packages, which fail to build or which are considered "not ready" by either reviewers or the package creator himself, are moved out of the main package requests list of packages waiting for QA. Setting this keyword is optional, but can be helpful. One benefit is, that active reviewers and potential reviewers don't run into such packages in the main list. Some abandoned packages are in there, too, e.g. where the creator stopped following a project or started trying a different distribution suddenly. As to what would be necessary to move such package requests forward should become clear in the comments. Replacement packages, which just work, would surely do. * The main QA list - http://tinyurl.com/4nxrw All package requests, which have the 'QA' bugzilla keyword set and hence are flagged as waiting for utilisable reviews and approvals according to the package submission policy.
