Clearly, bohdi/bugzilla/pk interaction is not good enough to collect
the kind of feedback needed for the karma system to work. And bohdi
should get smarter about identifying packages that need this
feedback. Critical path is a good first approximation but what would
really help is some heuristic about how much breakage a bad package
can cause : how many other packages depend on it (dependency
metrics), how long is has lived (has it been in Fedora for years of
imported the week before), was it even in the default install for
some people, etc. [...]
+1. Extra tooling should help here.
Consider also the possibility of adding in download statistics into
the 'slow-down-cowboy' heuristics: use records that particular
update-testing RPMs have been downloaded as evidence that they are OK.
