I agree that this shouldn't be an archive-admin job. However, due to
the binaries land in the NEW queue (assuming the binary package name
is based off of the soname), they seem like a natural *gatekeeper*,
even though they might not be the actual *reviewer*. Perhaps some sort
of integration (if not directly, then by way of a Greasemonkey script
or whatever) between Launchpad's binary NEW queue page and the library
transition tracker could help by indicating whether this is an
expected, planned transition (i.e. a red warning light if there's no
corresponding transition in the transition tracker or something to
that effect.)?
