Would it be feasible for dak to have a list of binary package nameregexes mapped to a source package and a section/priority, and auto-acceptpackages from the given source package that match the regex, assigning the given section/priority, without manual action? That would let the ftp team pre-approve src:systemd to ship /^libsystemd-shared-[0-9]+$/ in libs/optional, for example.
At some point somewhere I think it was already said, but in general: We love MRs, we are at https://salsa.debian.org/ftp-team/dak/ and something doing kind of auto-NEW processing is NOT out of the question.
Exact details have to be hashed out, but this is the wrong thread for that. While sometimes NEW can be annoying, it regularly catches bugs even if "only a small change in packaging" happened, so it does have some reason why its there. But yes, there are some candidates (hello kernel) that can make use of something with less humans involved.
Your example above doesn't sound too bad as a starter, though haven't put any further thought into it yet.
