The NEW queue waiting time is a stress we impose on ourselves.

[...]How was this a result of the speed at which new packages get reviewed and approved? I read through your entire reply (remainder snipped from context here for brevity) and nowhere did it seem to explain a problem you had with new queue processing. Did it get rejected and these were changes you had to make to satisfy ftpmaster/DFSG team reviews, and they took so long to get feedback to you that you almost missed the stable addition deadline?
