Fantastic proposal. An added benefit would be that would be one step
closer to having part of the new package review process automated. If
there was a build machine where new package SRPMS could be pushed to
(perhaps even via a web interface) which would then try to build the
package inside mock, run rpmlint on resulting packages, and make
avilable all logs and output (also perhaps via a web page), then
package review pace would greatly increase, I suspect.
