I don't know or understand much the AFP submission process, but from my point 
of view the issue is that tests (whether nightly tests or those run 
automatically on the repository or testboard) report failures whenever new 
entries are added. Once this happens, it's easy to miss failures in old entries.

My suggestion would be not to add the new entries to "ROOT" (or wherever they 
are listed), so that they are not tested at first. The authors/maintainers of 
the theory would have the freedom to make the entry work at least on their 
machine, and only then would they be listed for testing.
