We would need to at least have license review. Though automation can help with licensing, there are weird things sometimes that only a human could detect, like this[0]: https://github.com/szymach/c-pchart/issues/35 I do think we could automate a lot of the other elements of review though, and I agree that it would be helpful. Having a bot at least check for the obvious licence problems would still be helpful, but a bot that approves a package license still needs to be double checked by a human, in my opinion. The bot would be helpful in catching negatives (no license, or unacceptable license, etc.) [0] Thanks to Remi for catching it in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1425275 - I hadn't even noticed it myself!
