Re: feedback for NEW packages: switch to using the BTS?

currently, as far as i understand things, a REJECT can be issued
for the first REJECT-worthy problem. if resolving the resulting
bug report is the bar needing clearing to enter the archive,
that does seem to require FTPmasters to create a complete
statement of REJECT-worthy problems in each uploaded package,
which seems like more work than they must currently do.

if the resulting bug is *not* a complete statement of problems,
and that is understood, this isn't an issue. just a thought.
