Now that we have a few potential security update packages, we must 
discuss the publish procedure.

We cannot just go ahead and build everything that people submit and 
place it into the updates-testing repository.  I suggest that we need at 
least one preliminary check to make sure the package is a proper Legacy 
update (not a wild version upgrade), proper patching, and not malicious.

I suggest that we have two levels of approval, the first being necessary 
for "updates-testing".  While in "updates-testing" we receive GPG 
clearsigned feedback.  Perhaps further package patching will be 
necessary.  Then after a certain threshold of positive feedback from we 
approve for "updates".  But it matters who the feedback is from...

We need to discuss how to change this procedure for Legacy specific 
packages.

We also need to change the definition of "trusted" for Legacy specific 
packages, along with the requirements for reaching the "trusted" status.

Thoughts?
