I guess I'm not fully understanding your question.

A user submits an update to bodhi, and when they are satisfied that they
have all the builds added correctly and that the text is right, they
request it be pushed either to testing, or to stable.  After that the
only delay is the time it takes for me, the pusher, to handle the
pending requests.

The checks are quite simple in bodhi I do believe, I think it just
checks to make sure what you requested is tagged appropriately at the
time of request.  The rest of it is left up to users of updates-testing
to report any problems to the maintainer, either through bugzilla or
bodhi karma, or both.
