2- we could have a policy so that after a certain amount of days (7 days???) in testing and no bug/problem reported, the package can be moved to core. The maintainer could bump the thread about halfway through. This will eliminate having packages in testing in weeks waiting for signoffs and will give a clear guideline for maintainers of these packages.
Don't we sort of have that policy anyway, although maybe not officially... Aaron used to give a "signoff" on any package that had been in [testing] for a week or two without signoffs and bug reports. But an official policy saying that after 7 days a "low usage" package can be moved from [testing] provided they do not have a new bug report would be useful. I'd define "low usage" as anything not expected to be on most devs installs. Allan
