This is really not the problem. REVU is a nice tool, but the real problem is, then when it comes to updates, noone is back on that. Pushing software into ubuntu is not a difficult problem. But who takes care about it afterwards? MOTUs/Ubuntu developers who are pushing self made packages taking care about them afterwards, but drive by contributors don't. And what is a package worth who nobody cares about?
