</I>&gt;<i> So here is a proposal :
</I>&gt;<i> - anybody can submit a package to updates_testing.
</I>&gt;<i> - once submitted to testing, it should ask to QA to test, along with :
</I>&gt;<i>  - a reason for the update ( likely bug number )
</I>&gt;<i>  - potentially a priority ( ie, if this is just a translation update or
</I>&gt;<i> a urgent 0 day exploit )
</I>&gt;<i>  - a way to test the bug and see it is fixed
</I>&gt;<i>  - text for the update
</I>
&gt;<i> - qa validate the update ( with process to define )
</I>
&gt;<i> - someone move the package from updates_testing to testing
</I>
Someone from security (stable updates) team I guess?

&gt;<i> - the bug is closed
</I>&gt;<i> - a announce is sent ( on various medias to be defined ), with the text
</I>&gt;<i> of update
</I>
So who decides to reject an update and at what point? According to your 
proposal, either QA people decide this or they waste time on updates that 
later get rejected.

&gt;<i> So the points are :
</I>&gt;<i> - no update can be uploaded without QA validation
</I>
What does 'QA validation' mean exactly, can only certain people do it...?

&gt;<i> - QA manage the checks, and so will requires help ( hence the security
</I>&gt;<i> team or any packager can help, provided they know how to do QA )
</I>
So a packager wants to fix a bug in package that is not very visible, 
sends it to QA, then has to test it anyway? I'm not sure what you're 
saying here.
