I think we need a reputation system here.

Eg, you could sort the NEW queue by something like

   number of REJECTs of uploader's packages in last 12 months
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   number of ACCEPT or REJECTs from uploader in last 12 months + 1

If you did that, someone who submitted several bad packages to NEW
would have to get another DD or DM to sponsor their NEW uploads.  That
might well deal with the quality problem quite quickly...
