This is the wrong way of looking at it.  I intend to write up my experience with
the whole process and moving 37+ packages into the Fedora infrastructure.  It
was mostly a good experience but there a lot of things that would have made a
contributer quit long ago.  I'll addmit I had problems with my review of this
package, though I think they could have been resolved a bit quicker by removing
some of the process.  More on that later.

Put it this way, if there are reviews in the queue for a year, Fedora loses. One
package taking 4 days doesn't seem much to you but considering it is 1/8th of my
ship deadline and add that over however many packages that need to go through
review and you get an idea of timelines.  Unbuntu is getting more contributers
than Debian these days because they took a process full of red tape and
simplified it.

I thank you for your input and making my upstream project a bit more robust and
all the work you have done on our other packages.  I'm not saying I deserve to
ship crappy packages, I'm just saying there are more efficent ways of getting to
this point that I will bring up at the next FESCo meating.
