This change a little actual process. Example if a package contains
plural languages, ftp-master ask for review to the different
pre-ftp-masters of concerned teams. Example: a Perl package that
contains JS is pre-reviewed by 2 pre-ftp-masters. This may decrease
ftp-master work since new packages may have better quality before
ftp-master review.
