This idea sounds fine to me, Ringo. Any thoughts (anyone) on the best way to implement Ringo's great idea? Anybody have other ideas?

Is there any reason why the reporting can't be decentralized and managed on the wiki? For instance, a package list would be put on the wiki, with each package having its own page and then people can write on that page what they did. Once a package is verified (including dependencies) then its status could be updated to fully free on the main package page.
