I think Erik and you should be permitted to set the PUBLISH keyword with
one review, so you could be more productive and increase your experience
by learning from mistakes, too. There's one single de-motivating thing and
that is if new reviewers seem to wait endlessly for a second review.

But don't forget that a big portion of the queue has a very special target
group (e.g. lots of educational programming languages). These packages are
very unlikely to be reviewed by someone who has no interest in them. And
in particular not, if they don't even build flawlessly, because such
package requests result in a lot of work.
