Just that people can't get their packages sponsored, and things sit for a 
long time without any sort of review (either acceptance or rejection).

To some extent I agree with the logic of "the best packages will always 
find sponsors and bubble up", but I question whether or not that process 
is happening as quickly as it could, and if we're failing to capitalize on 
the skills/motivation of people who are good, only because we don't 
*realize* that they are good in a reasonable amount of time.

FESCO folks on this list: are there issues here?  what, if anything needs 
to be done?
