[maemo-developers] How to use extras-testing correctly?

[From: Aniello Del Sorbo]

I haven't got Neils e-mail yet.
But it looked like that the app gets promoted automatically or stay in
quarantine until it reaches enough votes.

If it stays in quarantine, I won't go for Extras Testing and I'll miss
an opportunity and I propose to remove this limitation.

If I have control of the approval process, I'll go thru it and wait
for no showstoppers before promoting my application.
But my second proposal to keep track of how the appication is going, stands.
