+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> IMHO, rejection reasons:
+</I>&gt;<i> - The sec team doesn't think the update fixes a serious security
+</I>&gt;<i> vulnerability; so it's not updates but backports
+</I>
+I would say that there is no version upgrade, unless exception.
+
+
+&gt;<i> - The QA team couldn't validate, i.e. using the test case in the bug
+</I>&gt;<i> report, their test results didn't show that the bug is fixed
+</I>
+Yup.
+
+Or someone detected a regression.
+( like 'I installed foo-1.0-1 but it opened a dimensional vortex to
+hell', as it happened on the QA testing facility of Phobos in Doom )
+
+&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - QA manage the checks, and so will requires help ( hence the security
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; team or any packager can help, provided they know how to do QA )
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; So a packager wants to fix a bug in package that is not very visible, sends
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; it to QA, then has to test it anyway? I'm not sure what you're saying here.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Not the packager committing the fix, (if he doesn't think it's fixed
+</I>&gt;<i> he won't ask for an update to begin with).
+</I>
+Yup :)
+
+&gt;<i> But the QA team, this team
+</I>&gt;<i> could/should have packagers in it.
+</I>
+Or someone could help by doing QA and saying &quot;so far, I see no
+regression&quot;, or just saying &quot;I see regression&quot; before some more
+experienced QA member do the test.
