I think such a process would be generally useful, not just for merge reviews 
(but also for new packages).

There must be some group of packagers who we can trust to know the packaging 
guidelines (provenpackagers? sponsors?), if we can prove that we went 
through the review checklist for a package, why is it a problem if it was 
our own package we were reviewing?
