I suppose we could... but then this should be documented. And then 
again, who has really the authority to update the process docs?

But if there should be some kind of "super-review" or whatever then we 
need to formalize this so the submitter knows what's going on instead of 
waiting for a seemingly overloaded cvssync administrator. Which is what 
I first did, probably for a too long time. Note that this would make the 
rpmfusion review process more complicated than Fedora's where there is 
no further review actions once the package is approved, only 
administrative tasks.

One alternative would be to say that also on rpmfusion the cvssync task 
is an administrative task, not a "super-review" or so. To add a safety  
net  we could just state that anyone unhappy with a package (new or old) 
could bring this to this list, effectively making the list take same 
role as FPC/FESCO.  IMHO, this would align the rpmfusion review process 
better with Fedora's.

Of course, this only applies when there is a disagreement. Most remarks 
are normally welcome be it under or after the review.

Well, obviously we have a disagreement... I have tried to explain my 
position in comment 58, which still is waiting for some kind of feedback.

Indeed.


Cheers!
