We could possibly use something like: build finishes for f19, lands in a f19-pending autoqa runs on the package, if it passes, tag it in to f19 if it doesn't, mail maintainer/etc about it. If there's some compelling reason it has to land, the maintainer can override and tag into f19 directly. (and then explain themselves :) But we would need the autoqa part to exist and be ready for this. kevin
