The same page also recommends that packagers exchange reviews with
eachother. http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy#review

Since package QA is undefined beyond a few security relevant and
technical things, it need not be developers who do reviews. Users can
help, too, e.g. with run-time testing, as can GPG signed confirmation
from the upstream project which verifies that a tarball has not been
tampered with.
