[maemo-developers] adaptation of Extras QA hurdles

[From: Roman Morawek]

Hello,

I like to initiate one more discussion on the Maemo Extras QA process.

I uploaded a new release of my application
(http://maemo.org/packages/view/babyphone/) on 5th of November, so more
than 2.5 months ago. Right now, I have 6 positive votes (including mine)
- thus 60% of the demanded hurdle. I guess my application is not one of
the top apps, but downloaded ca. 100.000 times. So I expect it is also
used and not only positioned in an extreme niche.

I think that such a period for a new release is too long. It has the
potential to demotivate developers and users stick to outdated
application versions. The Maemo community size is also probably not
further increasing in future, so this won't help neither.

I ask for reconsideration of the Extras QA process, or at least to
decrease the hurdles quantitatively (4 votes? 1 tester?).

Thanks & best regards,
Roman
