Hi, I would like to raise a few points/concerns about the package reviewing process and the fact that the backlog of package to be review on REVU is increasing every day. It is not to blame people, but I'm sure we can make the process faster by reducing the actual workload.
First, by following the Package Reviewing guide at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Reviewing> I see a lot of things that could be automated for checking, like checking whether the package is in the distro or in debian. We could also have an automatic pbuilding of the package with a detailled report. Exit the FTBS that reviewers emit. In short running REVU tools <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU/REVU-Tools> automatically would make sense, or at least using a "Click-n-run" in the REVU interface. There is also some suggestion that would need more coding on the REVU frontend, like listing outstandingly waiting packages, etc. What do people think?
