No, but everytime someone from the 3rd party people criticizes the current
content in the Wiki, criticism stops at very minor things like
RPM_BUILD_ROOT, explicit Epoch or disttags.

Let's stop this here. It's useless to discuss virtual packages.  The
requirements of the fedora.us build system are different than those of an
individual. Almost every submitted package (a few from 3rd party
repositories included) needs fixes before it would build correctly. And
*if* someone takes a deeper look, more issues are found. QA is the chance
to fix them sooner than later.

I stick to my offer of reviewing in teams...
