Maybe just a general comment (if I may be so bold as to state some things that 
would probably be deemed obvious by many people here): it's all a matter 
of *trust* and *communication*.

On the premises, we have:
 - a packager that has brought a new package to review
 - the fedora community that has brought a checklist of things to be checked 
   before any package can go in the repository
 - you (the reviewer) that has accepted the job of taking the package and the 
   checklist, and to go off and check that the package does indeed pass all 
   the tests

There are now two scenarii.  In the first, you come back with the package and 
the checklist, and you show everyone the checklist with all the tick-marks you 
have added in front of all the items you have checked.  There are also some 
comments.  For example, for the item that says that the upstream tarball must 
match the tarball included in the package there is noted:
 OK - upstream tarball matches with package: checksum is 1012
etc.

In the second scenario, you simply come back and say "it all looks fine" and 
show nothing.

Which kind of review do you think will make other community members put more 
trust in you ?

Cheers,
					Christian
