So, the advantages would be:
- Could run the review tool on the package whenever it updated.
- git history could be kept.
- Could possibly require some level of completness before filing the
review.
- We could have tighter integration with
pkgdb/pkgs.fedoraproject.org/koji
(for instance, automating the creation of package branches when a review
is marked approved).
Disadvantages would be:
- Another service/code we need to maintain.
- Possibly having to deal with junk uploads unless we filter things
well.
Documentation updates and workflow changes (Not so much a disadvantage as
one-time work to perform).
I know having a dedicated web app for this sort of thing was discussed when
Fedora Extras was new. I think that it was just not implemented because we
didn't have time and bugzilla worked well enough to get us what we
absolutely needed.
