This tool automates much of the dirty work when reviewing a package
for the Fedora Package Collection.

    * Downloading SRPM & SPEC from Bugzilla report
    * Download upstream source
    * Check md5sums
    * Generate a review report will both manual & automated checks,
      ready to complete and paste into the Bugzilla report.

This tool can be extended with a collection of plugins for each
programming language. There is also support for external plugins that
can be written in any language supporting JSON format.
