It's quite common that one of maintainers sends e-mail to the mailing list asking others to review / test a package, but gets no feedback. I've got an idea that for preliminary reviews, a HTML or a text view of a package could be useful. It would show things like pkginfo and pkgmap, with the intention of reviewing the way one software project is split into subpackages, where and what are the binaries, etc. The idea is that it's much quicker to click a link and view a page than dissect a file in a terminal session. Some maintainers wouldn't have time to dissect packages by hand, but they could quickly review a HTML report and offer feedback.
I've prepared a prototype view: http://bender.opencsw.org/~maciej/pkg-review-prototype.html Thoughts?
