The way I envision it, is that people will ask for peer review before uploading
to the NEW queue.  One of the reasons is that we will provide CI pipelines and
checklists that assist the preparation of the `debian/copyright` file, and once
the maintainer has used that system, requesting a review will be only a few
clicks away.  At the moment I have the impression that ussing issues is the
easiest way, but alternatively Merge Requests on the file that tracks packages
and their reviews could work too.

I have made a very simple proof or concept here:

https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team/reviews/-/blob/main/README.md?ref_type=heads

I have not finished to collect the contents of the checklists, and I am just at
the beginning of learning how CI pipelines work on GitLab.  People intersted in
making the NEW gateway happen, your contribution is most welcome!  It can not
be the pet project of a single person.  In any case, I will use it for my 
packages
and will do my best to convince my team mates to do so too :)

Have a nice day,

Charles
