That doesn't seem sound to me.  Recall the problem when the kernel
package that was uploaded had something screwy in it due to a bad
transfer.  Under this situation, tpowa would have 'signed off' his own
upload, whoever built it for x86_64 would have signed it off for their
own upload, and then the buggy package i686 would have been pushed to
core.

If that's how we want our signoffs, then that's fine - I'm just
pointing out a possible flaw.
