A few fronts explained:
* The PUBLISH list - http://tinyurl.com/6jtlb
This bugzilla query lists approved packages which will be built and
put in the "pending" repository, and packages which have been built
already and which wait for final verification before they are
published in the main repository.
( http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#approve )
It something in e.g. the "pending/stable" repository causes trouble,
that would be a good reason to reopen the corresponding package request
ticket in bugzilla and block the package from being published.
* The REVIEWED list - http://tinyurl.com/5dmpl
This query lists packages which need approval from an additional
person.
( http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#review )
* The UPDATE list - http://tinyurl.com/6679q
This query lists update package requests, which often are considerably
easier to review, because an older version of a package exists in the
repository already and can be compared with.
* The NEEDSWORK list - http://tinyurl.com/4l6my
Packages, which fail to build or which are considered "not ready"
by either reviewers or the package creator himself, are moved out
of the main package requests list of packages waiting for QA.
Setting this keyword is optional, but can be helpful. One benefit
is, that active reviewers and potential reviewers don't run into
such packages in the main list.
Some abandoned packages are in there, too, e.g. where the creator
stopped following a project or started trying a different distribution
suddenly.
As to what would be necessary to move such package requests forward
should become clear in the comments. Replacement packages, which
just work, would surely do.
* The main QA list - http://tinyurl.com/4nxrw
All package requests, which have the 'QA' bugzilla keyword set
and hence are flagged as waiting for utilisable reviews and
approvals according to the package submission policy.
