My experience with the new package process is that the review process in
Step 6 doesn't work. For some of my packages it took 3 months for a

understanding is that it depends on how interesting the package is, how
many packagers you know, or whether you enter the review swap market.
Indeed, the review process is the main roadblock to getting things done in
Fedora.
IMHO, one easy solution to alleviate the problem would be to let experienced
packagers (ones that are provenpackagers and/or packager sponsors) import
their packages without a review (or with a self-review).
I doubt that pp and sponsors have packages stuck in the review queue.
Those people have to communicate with other people in Fedora a lot, so
attracting some attention to a review ticket should not be hard. Do
you have any examples?
I do still just toss many reviews onto the queue just to see if any ever
get picked up. Some do, many don't. But you are correct, if any of
them were particularly critical I would just ask for a review on the
list. But it does show that putting stuff on the queue doesn't work
very well.
