I just want to update you with a few words about the Gateway to NEW project. (https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team)Our goal is to have an infrastructure and tools to host pre-upload peer-review of the debian/copyright file of source packages before they are sent to the NEW queue, in the hope of making them perfect and reduce the rejection rate, thus accelerating the processing.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Why should I do copyright reviews in the Gateway to NEW team, instead of joining the NEW team itself? (Ignoring the fact that joining the NEW team is a more involved process)
As I understand it, doing copyright reviews outside of the NEW team would not speed up processing, as they would have to re-review everything anyway. The only thing this would help with is reduce rejection rate, but in my experience rejects are quite rare.
Let me know if I'm missing something! Bye :)
