Can you be a little more specific, please?

The package submission & QA process in bugzilla is not complicated and
is close to a "simple state/transition-model" already.

  package request -> QA keyword -> reviews -> PUBLISH keyword
  -> release manager builds binaries -> PENDING state ->
  -> packager/reviewer verifies binaries -> VERIFIED state
  -> release manager publishes binaries -> CLOSED state

But none of that gets rid of the reviews, the more complicated and
time-consuming part of the process.
