Hi Sean and everybody,

Around 12 years ago, I proposed a peer-review system to increase the quality of
the packages in the NEW queue.  https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview

Maybe we could revisit the idea along these lines:

 - a Salsa group into which people fork repos and run CI screens for copyright,
   license and missing source issues.

 - a peer-review system based on issues or MRs (for instance to a master
   repository with a text file tracing the outcome of the reviews).

 - as of today people would use it to ensure their submissions to NEW are to
   the highest standards and therefore the least likely to waste time of the
   FTP team members.

 - the outcome of the NEW processing of the peer review is also recorded by
   volunteers, allowing to better measure the achievements and usefulness of
   the system.

 - The FTP team, if they wish, can provide feedback.

 - when the FTP team calls for new trainees, applicants who have a track record
   of peer reviews in that system can show it to the FTP team, who are free to
   do what they want with this information.

 - If the FTP team recruits someobody who was peer reviewer and liked that
   system, a positive loop is made.

Have a nice day,

Charles
