Please define "internal".  If this is some Red Hat internal thing, don't
you think the community who is being asked to do this work should at
least be informed?

BN> They're reviews of Fedora packages.

Fedora doesn't have any policy which requires reviews of these
packages.  Fedora doesn't have the manpower to do re-reviews of packages
at this time.

And you don't see any negative effects from this?  Really?  What about
people with submissions just sitting around?

Assigned by whom?  Again, if this is a Red Hat internal thing, please
handle it within Red Hat or please at least talk to the community about
it.

Because we get a lot of submissions we're buried under, throwing a bunch
of pointless ones on top won't hurt?  Come on, at least get someone to
talk to us about this.
