Let's not.

There is a mailing list you can get REVU comments from.

The less we are entangled with Launchpad in our process, IMO, the more actual 
work we can get done.  LP Is so slow that I find it's usability to be 
extraordinarily marginal.

The only advantage PPAs have is that packages will get built on at least two 
archs and so it would cut down on reviewing packages that turn out to FTBFS.

Can I dget from a PPA?
