I would like to begin organizing a SIG for package reviews and the issues surrounding them. I spent a couple of minutes to create https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Package_Review and put in a couple of tidbits. Everyone is welcome; interested parties should respond here or, if you wish, privately to me.
Organization is not a particularly strong suit of mine, so I particularly welcome anyone who is willing to step up and help me get this thing rolling.

I think thats a great initiative and I would like to thank you and all the other people who are doing reviews on a non trading basis for all your efforts!
Not really related to this SIG, but I while we are on the subject. Around 90 % of reviews / packages are pretty standard, but some can be really tricky. So I want to use this opportunity to offer my help to reviewers for any technical issues which arise during package reviews (for example help the packager solving selinux execstack or textrel issues).
Regards,
Hans

Yes, I would hope that the SIG could do this on a more organized basis and perhaps produce some additional documentation which could help packagers with these kinds of problems.

Thinking out loud, it might be nice to link another set of review bugs, the ones where the submitter needs a sponsor, so people can focus their efforts where they can do the most good.

Well, the list has the NEEDSPONSOR tags listed in green; are you suggesting that they need to be in a separate document altogether? It wouldn't be terribly hard if I can ever finish beating those report scripts into shape, but I'm not really sure I see the utility.

It might be worthwhile to point out to folks that, while some critical portions of the Fedora infrastructure remain down, you can still review packages. There are plenty to choose from. The full list of packages up for review is at: http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEW.htm
The wiki is up so that you can view the packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and the mirrors remain up so that you can install mock and do test builds.
