What abou the size of the NEWs queue, and the relative position of your
package in it. To be usefull, this would imply that the ftp-masters
operate the NEW queue in fifo order, which may or may not be the case.
Waiting for a package to be accepted (or rejected) is a lengthy and/or
frustrating business, but as i understand there is no way around it.
Also, many packages go into the news queue while this is not really
necessary, for example, is it really necessary for a new soname version
of a library to wait in the news queue, when the previous version did
already be packaged ? Or the new kernel-source package ?
