That would be sweet if it would be auto approved.
Do you want a backdoor permitting all script kidz and overzealous, but
unexperienced newcomers to automatically take over packages?
I regret having to say so, but the unpleasant fact is, Fedora does have
such "participants".
When I do not react upon requests, I usually either missed or forgot
about the request or deliberately do not yet want to approve.
That said, what I feel is missing in Fedora's pkgdb web-forms is an
option to "leave a comment to applicant" and an "some automated reminder
mechanisms" to remind "approvers" about pending requests.
