we should probably change it to +2 or even +1.
Yeah. Or at least document that the maintainer is allowed to reduce it;
that's entirely unclear given the current policy and bodhi UI. As
things stand, there is a clear expectation embodied in the default
behavior that you should be able to get +3 karma. The fundamental
complaint (at least as I've been making it) is that that's unrealistic
given the actual available testing manpower. It's not undesirable;
it'd be great if that actually did happen. But it's just not going to
happen, most of the time for most packages.
(And yeah, if we allow +1 autopush, we should definitely expect -1 is
sufficient to unpush. Maybe bodhi should restrict the combination of
those two settings, rather than either one alone?)
