@X-Fade, are you aware that the bug with kernel-power packages not appearing in fremantle extras-devel web interface is still not solved https://bugs.maemo.org/12284? I am posting here as noone has commented on the bugtracker since the bug has been reopened and both me and Pali were not able to reach you through IRC.
Do you have any idea what's wrong, is it that kernel-power build scripts somehow provoke autobuilder/whatever to go nuts or there is another problem? Any help on that will be appreciated.

One thing preventing unlocked packages getting stuck in testing would be removal from testing if the maintainer hasn't promoted it in a month or something. Should be enough time to react.
This would also be a way to clean the queue now unless there are clear cases of packages that should be promoted. Anyway, I'd put the packages that have been in the queue and unlocked for a long time under a microscope and reject them even for small issues since most likely those packages will not receive fixes anymore.

Fortunately, no one was "rejecting" such orphaned and abandoned package like kernel-power (which was left without fixes for a looong time), so Pali and - little later - freemangordon could come in, and take over maintainership. which would be problem-less, if only infrastructure would work like it should (package interface problems).

That packages are orphaned is a separate problem which could be addressed through a similar mechanism, but it obviously requires additional safeguards; don't you agree?
(Or were you referring to something else?)

Currently I'm curious to see whether built-in QA in the client helps with the lack of testers. QA will be made more prominent in the client if you have enabled the staging repository.
I've recently QAed most of the new apps in staging like this during a single evening.

Just saying...
(Note also the bogus "latest", versionless instance on the package overview page - there was not even a build that month - but why bother reporting it?)

Anyway, I agree all these communication problems need to be resolved somehow. I don't need to see heads on plates or people punished. I'm mainly interested in getting results that work. Stating things like "do this and that or we will go and setup our own community with blackjack and..." doesn't lead to constructive discussion. People usually repond more likely when not being insulted. State the problem from you pow and offer a solution and accept the fact that others will have different opinions and solution proposals.

A single "damn, I have NFC what exactly is screwed up in the DB, lets chase it together" will be enough most of the time. The silence is not. Ignoring the questions over and over again is simply rude.

So, as you say, all those users that don't know about TMO and only see the Extras repository think that there are only about 740 applications for their phones while there are far more working and usable applications that won't ever be promoted.
On the other hand, users that find about TMO, enable Devel without the required knowledge and break their systems continuously, just to install an application that might have been promoted long ago.
Of course we shouldn't allow broken packages to be promoted but not having any mechanism for promoting orphaned applications is a nonsense. You don't want it to be automatic? OK, but there should be a way for testers to promote applications.
