A good way to begin would be by:

+ noting what tools (viz. rpmlint, mock) etc are used by the current
Package Review Process
+ noting what steps of the Package Review Process can be automated (eg.
slurping the srpm from the BZ#, running the Guideline specific tests and
spewing an output)

moving on to figuring out how much of the 'Guidelines' can be coded into
the system to make it a bit more intelligent and of course having all
this with a backend database

This of course assumes that we accept the premise that fedora-qa is a
good conceptual starting or jump-off point, but not r-o-m. That would be
a newer tool and perhaps not a rebase of fedora-qa
