Moreover, thunderbird in on the critical path update list; Bodhi requires 14 days of testing for those packages, but it is set to require only +2 karma, so packagers easily bypass the testing phase, like it is clearly happened here (pushed to stable just after 5 hours). I think critpath updates should spend more time in testing, maybe we should increase the critpath min karma to, at least, +5.
There are a lot of critpath packages that never reach +5 karma. Especially for Fedora n-1 (right now, 35), for which we also need to push security updates.
The real issue is not the low karma threshold, but the automatic push with no double-check from the maintainer.
