Hi,

ATR is useful but it won't change much here. It checks signatures, hashes, 
headers, and the presence of the DISCLAIMER, and those rarely get a -1. The 
analysis of ten years of general@ release votes [1] found the mechanical issues 
have mostly gone. Releases get voted down on general@ for things that need a 
person to look at: bundled third-party code with no license, LICENSE and NOTICE 
that don't match what's in the archive, category X dependencies, compiled code 
in the source release, etc. Tooling won't find those sorts of issues.

Concurrent votes don't reduce that review, they just mean the IPMC does it on 
RCs the podling hasn't checked yet. If IPMC members wait for the PPMC result 
before looking, as Tison suggests, then the general@ vote sits idle until it 
arrives.

Thanks,
Justin
