Be in mind, as long as you don't rename you package, you can make any
changes on your package
without you need a review for it. Question: Why you need a full
review, if you want to rename your
package?

Of course, you can say, that you want to be sure, that you don't want
to get a naming conflict due
the renaming of the package and have the right Provides/Obsoletes
statements in the renamed
package to be sure to have a proper updating path. But this is not a
full review from my pont of
view.
