I mean that asking for co-mainenance is a different thing than asking for a 
review of the copyright stuff.

If you ask me for co-maintaining one of your package, I might surely say no 
because I don't want to be involved in the long term, but on the contrary 
reviewing copyright stuff can be a one shot.

Besides, there is no technical requirement to do this, not even to understand 
the build system or what the software is about..


This idea of a public reviewing page for NEWly uploaded packages really looked 
appealing to me.
