-1 to this. I've packaged a number of things that I know just one user of.
I have no idea how many people actually use my packages or how to reach
them. Therefore it will most likely be impossible for me to get +3 on each
update and they'll never get out of testing. Do you really want this?

If this gets passed I'll probably orphan most of my packages (i.e. the ones
that have very little users). There's no point in maintaining them in Fedora
under this bureaucracy.

R.
