When this happens, respond to the REJECT email you get when you re-upload so that we know that there is a package we have already checked, so that we know you are re-uploading and addressing our concerns. > > However, if like 3 DDs claim they have reviewed the package's license and that > eveythying is like GPL, along with a subjective views on the complexity of > the package's check, then the work should be much more faster afterward. Knowing that 3 other DDs have checked a package doesn't change our work at all, unless that reduces the number of uploads. If a package has been uploaded that 3 other DDs have signed off on, we are still going to do the same checking that we would on a package that didn't have such a review. This is not to say that I wouldn't welcome such a thing. I'd hope that many of the packages we see wouldn't be uploaded if more people were looking at them before they were uploaded. stew
