+Pascal is working on this.
+
+So here is a proposal :
+- anybody can submit a package to updates_testing. 
+- once submitted to testing, it should ask to QA to test, along with :
+  - a reason for the update ( likely bug number )
+  - potentially a priority ( ie, if this is just a translation update or
+a urgent 0 day exploit ) 
+  - a way to test the bug and see it is fixed
+  - text for the update 
+
+- qa validate the update ( with process to define )
+
+- someone move the package from updates_testing to testing 
+- the bug is closed
+- a announce is sent ( on various medias to be defined ), with the text
+of update 
+
+
+So the points are : 
+- no update can be uploaded without QA validation
+- QA manage the checks, and so will requires help ( hence the security
+team or any packager can help, provided they know how to do QA )
