Not very well (:  It's very vague and not helpful I understand.  We
don't really do any verification that the person requesting the override
is the person owning the package, we've just assumed that the requester
knew what they were doing for the most part.  As far as "sane update",
we've seen recently that this is a very... varied meaning, so it's
probably best to remove this and instead reference the current update
guidelines we have.  I think it's something of a gut feeling as far as
whether the update should be questioned.  Updating something like python
and requiring everything to be built against it would not be OK, but
that's a pretty extreme end of the spectrum.

Because the releng trac is a webform, and we have more than one
component, users have accidentally picked the wrong component for the
tag requests, and have accidentally forced assignment of the tickets.
For those reasons I thought it best to look at every ticket and examine
the subject line to see if it's a tag request or not, as humans cannot
be trusted to not make mistakes :/
