There is none. The package review process is the only thing in place, but
only covers packaging issues and does not comment on any run-time
requirements *at all*. There is also no mandatory post-approval reviewing
of updates (think "ABI/API breakage", "regression", "dep breakage" and so
on). Once a package "is in", there are no requirements left. Except that
the packager must not revert any changes required during the review phase,
which violate the packaging guidelines.
