Enrico's idea is nice, but rather not workable in real life as it's the
maintainers who start transitions, not the Release Team. The current
proposal would only list transitions that are tracked by the Release
Team: someone of the team has to be available, has to track that
particular transition and bother to get packages rejected for that
transition...
