I agree with your concerns and do not see much benefits.

Why can't we have a maintainer must give explicit clearance to release a
successfully built package policy instead of automatically releasing a
package?

That would mean, a successfully built package would end up in a
publically accessible repo (or directory), but maintainers would have to
explicitly give clearance for a package to be pushed to the official FE
repos.

Not "that bad", but definitely improvable.
