  Do you plan on filing bugs to prevent loosing track of the remaining
  uploads? Perhaps some other methods (wiki page, private list of
  yourself) would be less intrusive, but bugs is what we normally use
  for this issues.

  Possibilities:

    - file bugs against all packages right after upload. Easier,
      pollutes BTS.

    - file bugs against remaining packages after e.g. 2 or 4 weeks. A
      bit more of effort, won't create a flood of RC bugs (hopefully). 

  Cheers,
