This is "documented" in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Review_Purpose.
I put documented in quotes because the text is present, but it sure ain't
easy to find. All the wiki docs about initial package are fairly hard to
use: the information is split over multiple pages without a clear design
to the division, there should be lot more hyperlinking going on, etc.
