I think it can be a judgement call on certain packages. For example, I maintain the Review Board packages which almost never get karma from more than one person (and that usually only for whichiver Fedora or EPEL branch that person is currently deploying to). Even at karma 1, most Review Board packages sit in updates-testing until the timeout passes. Now, this makes sense for Review Board because it's a leaf package and an application with a fairly limited audience. For packages in wider use or those that are dependencies for other projects, I think having a higher threshold makes sense. Hopefully, some of the new changes in Bodhi 2 will improve upon this situation. I hear that's coming Real Soon Now.
