Hi,
Any news ?
"But I guess nothing's getting released, for some reason? fedora-review
has been on version 0.6.1 since May 2016; all package activity since
then has been housekeeping rebuilds. "
may you add me as admin to Fedora-review package ? to release a new
version .
Thanks

Literally nothing prevents a packager from doing this *today*. As
soon as package-review is complete and the dist-git repo is created,
the packager can make whatever changes they want and push it with
impunity.
Let’s be wary of the Nirvana Fallacy while discussing this: a perfect
solution doesn’t need to be found before implementing one that
improves on the current state.
That being said, it wouldn’t be particularly difficult for the review
script to run `dnf repoquery --whatprovides` for everything this new
package provides and fail if it replaces something else without
Obsoletes.
