Review and signing are two different processes. Every single new package
has to go through a review process as outlined in

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines

Signing a package is done by a small number of people in the release
engineering team and they do that manually before pushing it into the
repositories.
