Well, don't underestimate your reviewers.  I know enough to point out
some packages which will likely have selinux issues even though I am
not generally able to test them under selinux.

What has been a problem (for instance, in the Bugzilla review) is that
even given an SELinux policy to test, nobody involved could do the
testing.  I tried but I just ended up wasting a couple of hours on
relabels and ending up with a machine that needed to be reinstalled.
Fortunately I have plenty of machines around that I can hack on; many
reviewers and packagers aren't so blessed.

I note that the submitter/maintainer of the Extras Bugzilla package is
@redhat.com.
