Well, as I wrote, the packager should have tested the package
he's pushing
out, of course! Especially for a new package, it's the only way to know it
works. Something that doesn't work at all has no business being pushed to
anywhere, even testing. And yes, checking that the dependencies are all in
Fedora is definitely a good idea, too. (But automated depchecks would solve
that problem once and for all.)
About new package point, what about the negative impact of newly
pushed package on distribution as a whole if it breaks to launch or
crashes in some event(produced in some essential functionality) and
was missed by packager/reviewer (2 people) ?
I am in favour of letting this decision made by testing team (folks
who contribute for testing in update-testing) based on package
importance and availability of contributors.
