This may need to go through a GR. If we prioritize packages in NEW required for updating other dependencies, that can help things faster. When I upload packages to NEW, I know some packages are priority and some are not, but there is no way to express that currently.
Or we may also be able to reuse the urgency field in changelog if the idea that "uploaders should be able to prioritize some packages in NEW and ftp masters should check the priority queue before the normal queue" is acceptable to the project.
