We're coming up to FC6 test 2. It's nice the basic infrastructure is getting into FE, like dssi and jack-audio-connection-kit, but what would be really cool is if some non-trivial apps like ardour, rosegarden and hydrogen could get accepted into FE prior to the FC6 release. They have all been submitted to Extras by myself and others, but I don't know how to make the review process go any faster. Suggestions?

Well, you said "been submitted to Extras by myself and others". The solution is quite simple afaics: those "others" review your packages and you review their packages. Or am I missing something here?
Sorry, I know there are a lot of packages in the QA queue. But without QA it would be a great mess :-/

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression that Paul Davis didn't really want Ardour released in distributions just yet.
On the other hand, if someone wants to slap JAMin in there I certainly wouldn't mind ;-)

The Ardour web site says: "In the future, we may offer binary releases of Ardour directly from ardour.org. These will be distribution neutral, in the same way that Firefox and Thunderbird are. At the present time, we are relying on the excellent work done by the package maintainers for various distributions."
Maybe you mean Ardour 2, which may not be ready for prime time yet.

Maybe it's me who is missing something. I didn't realize that any sponsored committer could review and approve packages. If so, then I'll start reviewing today.

They can as long is the new package is created by someone that is also sponsored already. In other words: Only reviews from first-time contributors need to be done by sponsors, all other reviews can be approved from all sponsored extras contributors.
If so, then I'll start reviewing today.
Have fun. But could you do me a favor and add above information to the wiki somewhere where you would have expected it? This might avoid that other run into the same misunderstanding later. tia!
