Sure, makes sense.

Martin should be probably the one to tell websites team when to pull new version (once it is tested, not every one needs to be pulled).

We'll probably not be able to test every each upstream release he does, especially on all platforms. During Branched release cycle, it will be easier, since we're testing FMW all the time anyway. Outside of the release cycle, he can ping us if we have time to do that, or he can wait until some feedback is available in Bodhi and act based on that (however, that does not include feedback for non-Fedora systems, but I think he said he performs a few smoke tests every time on his test machines, so that should be probably fine).
