A few years ago, I made a proposal for peer-reviewing copyright files in the
NEW queue.
https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview
The goal is not to substitute for the inspection by the FTP Master team, but to
correct defects before their review, therefore saving their time.
This looks like a good idea, but unfortunately it seems not to be an
often used process.
I have done a few dozens of these reviews and share Thorsten's impression in
general (althouth in my opinion 80 % is quite an upper-range estimate…).
I have no accurate numbers, but I just reviewed three packages [1-3] and
found problems in all of them. It's a rather small sample size, but still...
I encourage everybody who uploads to the NEW queue to review some packages in
exchange. To help people reviewing your package, please make sure that a
copy is accessible (source packages in the NEW queue are not accessible outside
the FTP Master team).
Now, could anyone review the debian/copyright file of ffmpeg?
The sources are available in this repository:

Best regards,
Andreas
