Quick suggestion (warning: I haven't actually used fapman yet myself as I don't install stuff all that often) - which would take some work, but.. - have you considered an attempt at integrating fapman in with maemo.org a bit? Being able to rate applications, view ratings, etc.. would doubtless help the extras-testing queue speed I think.
I'd be (cautiously) optimistic about throwing some of my time into this. Cautiously because I don't have a lot of it.
I think fapman should hook up with KISStester and see what spawns
(These names are awesome..)

Edit: They could have a dependency on each other and communicate using dbus if necessary, I guess.

First off thank you for this. Runs circles around Nokia's version. I was wondering as maybe in a future build if you could add virtual keyboard support. You could incorporate it by placing another button down along the screen edge, that would only show up when you are viewing applications (for installation, upgrade, or deinstallation).
This way you wouldn't need to open the screen for fast searching.
If it is not added, the app rocks.

Take a look at atilla77's response:

I welcome integration with other tools that can help streamlining the process (I will probably provide some way of command-line invocation that would take you straight to the vote dialog).

The app hangs at "updating catalogs" for me
I'm currently connected via edge/2g. the normal app manager works fine.
It doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I ran conky and there is no download/upload and the cpu is minimal

I'd have a feature suggestions for future versions.
1. Show in the application list with different colors, that what version of the app is available (meaning -testing and -devel).
2. While installing user could choose which version to install. I for one don't know now which version I'm running of Pidgin Protocols Plugin, since the decsription said it was from -devel/-testing.

Hi everyone,
since I installed fap I couldn't update any programm.
For this reason I uninstalled it again. Now I cannot upgrade any program with the built-in appmanager. And I can't install fapman either...
Any help?
