Just let me comment that when I explored becoming a contributor to FE
one of my most pleasant experiences when I checked the packages
submission procedure back then was the high quality of reviewing done
and the implied quality of the packages.

Until this thread I wasn't aware of monolectical reviews and if this
would become a habit it would decrease the quality of packages let
through. Which I find a pity as one of the nicest parts of FE was the
quality of packages.
