[...] I don't think a "blanket-like approval" makes sense, as at least the md5sums and the license actually still should be checked by a reviewer. Further: the reviewer of course can (and IMHO should) just do those two checks, run a "diff -u" of the approved spec file against the unapproved one, take a quick look at the differences and then approved the second package if everything looks sane. That can likely be done in less then 5 minutes and is not that much work. Sure, there is a small risk to miss a bug or problem, but that's life -- no reasons to unlock the orbital laser or to wake up Spot's nijas ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/Ninjas ) :-) BTW, that's afaics how some of the reviews were done already (hunspell for example). Maybe it's worth to write that down somewhere in the wiki -- but there is IMHO no need to add it to the guidelines directly.
