I'd suggest this: for the devel period towards F8 build a "Re-review SIG" (or let the QA sig handle it) that just goes trough most of/all the packages in CVS; the oldest packages get visited first.
If you really really want to do this, we should really really take a very hard look at toolizing some of the review process, as has been mentioned before. The more specific policy items we can script checks for the less manpower we will need to burn on re-reviews. Granted not everything that needs to be reviewed can be toolized or scripted, but certainly specific policy item that have evolved over time could be, like the python-abi defines, or the setting of the Fedora-Extras Category in desktop files. I believe re-reviews would have value, but without new tools in place to script some of the checking we will continue to be too manpower poor for this to be worthwhile compared to other work. In the meantime, if a lack of a review trail for fedora.us era packages is blocking the ability to spin-up new and interesting downstream projects as Jesse suggests, then its worth doing something about that now since there is an additional payoff other than general cobweb removal. -jef -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
