It's clear for me that the NEW packages/per month processing time is
way better than sometime ago, thanks the ftpmasters for this. The
unsolved problems at this moment (as i see them) are:
- Some packages aren't accepted or rejected and stay there for too
much time with a unknown reason. If the ftpmasters agree we should add
more information in the NEW queue page[0] than the reject-faq;
- The process stopped for some time and some people thought it was due
the archive split. It's a HR issue or a PR issue and can be solved
easily IMHO.;
