Now there won't be a strict need for reviewers. After some time in
bodhi things will get pushed, as it is the case in releases. Hopefully
people will review the updates. As I said repeatedly, we won't ask more
QA than what is in fedora release, and therefore not the amount that was
in legacy.

The conditions of such a project is what is discussed here. Having
fedora infrastructure and fedora rules used or not is, in my opinion the
most important item for potential contributors. I wanted to contribute
to legacy but was deterred by the fact that another infra with another
set of rules was used. And other people told the same.
