Along with this, the definition of Blockers, especially with respect to the requirement of Bug-trackers needs to be clarified in the wiki. Is a bug-tracker required for all packages? or only for large ones? This requirement is openly ignored in many cases and the presence of a testing admin with the ability to demote a packege will help enforce the rules.
If you read carefully the suggestions in the link above you'll notice that the bugtracker field will be automatically checked by the autobuilder, so the testers only need to worry about if the bugtracker is invalid (like bugs.maemo.org only). For small packages/themes a e-mail address is enough.

We'll keep the karma for small modifications as described in the link above, as for the quarantine period I'm against reducing it, the developers have to take in mind that we're no testing slaves , nor the regular user likes to to have updates poping out each hour(at least I don't like ), so the developer need to consider all of these variables for each release. In case of a major flaw, the admins can step in.
