Sure. After it is just a tool, but the idea is to reduce the number of
manual steps to a review. Manually carrying out mundane things like
verifying whether the package builds in Koji/Mock, the Source0 tag is
sane, md5sum of upstream and packaged tarballs match, rpmlint output,
etc. should not burden a person every time he/she does a review.
Note that the software needs to be clear on what is still required of
the human reviewer. for instance, Source tag has several automatable
steps but also must have a human review that the Source URL is canonical
in the first place.
