So the thing that should be avoided IMO is not defining well enough
how the procedure should work, to avoid getting swamped with patches
which require additional work to apply. The requirement to fill out
post a "New Package Request" style form to the bug should allow most
of the work to be scripted, and ideally the proven packager would
just need to look at the patch, and if happy, fire the script.
So maybe such a policy could look something like this [1].
Contrarily to what I wrote initially, I think it might actually make
sense to allow also non-packagers to file such requests, and it
would provide another way of showing off experience which will
eventually lead to one getting sponsored.
