I'm hoping, as the QA process and team evolve, they're able to be seen less as a barrier to, and antagonists of, Maemo development. Along those lines, might it make sense to provide developers with a easy to use, and easy to find, method of requesting a QA team review of an application while the app is still in -devel? New (or not-so-new) developers could then get (hopefully friendly, helpful, guiding) feedback on their packaging, etc. earlier. It might help avoid and reduce some of the hard feelings developers seem to be experiencing when packages fail QA, particularly for "technicality" issues.
