changing review requirements

Hi all,

In the UDS session yesterday, we discussed a change to the review/voting
requirements on apps, to help speed up the review process. In a
nutshell, the proposal is:

- Instead of requiring three +1s from ARB members, we will require one
technical +1 review from any Ubuntu Developer, and one compliance +1
review from an ARB member.

- When announcing this change, also make it publicly known that we're
equally happy if Ubuntu Developers want to contribute by adopting apps
from the ARB queue for universe+backports or debian-mentors. (Using
their judgment picking out the apps that are substantial enough to make
sense in universe or Debian.)


For ARB members, does this match what you remember (if you were at the
session), or does this sound reasonable (if you're following UDS
remotely)? If you all agree, I'll take it to the Tech Board.

Allison
