* When the update consists of multiple packages, ability to indicate
which of those packages the given feedback is about.

And "checkboxes" should all be tri-value with Werks / Not tested / Fails

If any is set to Fails then feedback comment is mandatory, otherwise
optional.

I would not limit that to critpath.

Any update that have any negative feedback should be blocked from
authpush. And maintainer should be alerted that there is negative
feedback when trying to push the package.

As a maintaner it's quite easy to occationally miss that here have been
negative feedback, and it happens that things gets done in a hurry.

I would propose that it's blocked unil any proven tester flags that it's
now ok, at which point the maintainer or a proven packager can push the
package.

Yes.

Absolutely.
