Fair enough.  You still haven't answered my question about tracking 
approvals.

Stated another way... history has shown with the feature process that 
people don't always do the right thing.  Not in a malicious way, but 
usually because they didn't understand what they were supposed to or 
simply took a guess and moved on.

For the feature process I use the very manual, rudimentary process of 
Category classifications and page watches.

What process are you proposing so that I know:
1) When a spin is officially being proposed as a feature?
2) All of the required previous required steps or approvals were 
completed correctly?
