Dear Karan,
As a part of the contrib acceptance process, can we spread the load a bit by saying that anyone who wants to submit a package, must also find someone else ( other than their sponsor ) to write a set of acceptance tests[1] for their package.
A process like this could easily be handled through package reviews via bucktracker. Maybe there is need of adding a 'review request' category.
I am sure we can work out a usable process once we have a target in mind. At the moment, my concern is purely around the idea of writing these tests and what ( if anything ) people had to say about these.
btw, I think a bugtracker is good for tracking bugs. nothing more than that. Tools like mingle, redmine, gitorious etc are much better at handling coding related flow metrics / progress.
Fedora is using the bugzilla as bugtracking platform for quite a while without any problems.
Best Regards Marcus
