Developer opens a request, writes an errata description, and enters the
package file names. There's some automated testing, then QA takes over.
Docs beats the errata description mangled by the developer into something
more sane.

Eventually, QA asks for the packages to be signed, then they're pushed,
mail sent, etc.

It has heavy ties into RHN, among other things, which didn't work very well.
