This seems like a good proposal to me.
Just a remark from previous discussions.
I think if there aren't many people interested to do QA on a package it
isn't because there isn't any need or interest for the package in
general. Quite often I read something on the web about a program and
then try to find an rpm for it. Or I need some rpm to get something else
compiled. And by definition there are less packagers then users out there.
So to conclude I think that if there is no interest in doing QA does not
really mean that there is no interest in the package.
