Don't you think maintainers are big enough to know how to handle this kind of
decisions ? or ask the NEW-team for help before uploading ? If the package
causes problem, it could well be removed from the archive afterward or
something.

Now, again, this is probably something that can get automated, rules are
fixed, and if they are not broken, automated NEW is applied (with a delay as
always), while if they are broken, the reviewed NEW is applied.
