Yet, if detailed manually filled change-log would be required to transfer the votes, it might give a rather good indication what needs to be tested again. I agree that whenever and update is released, testing is needed. But how much, depends on the amount and type of changes. Also, it should never mean that it's a completely new app, because that it's not... most of the cases.
That would reduce the workload on the 'testing-masters' to only those situations (such as adding a help file) where the dev is very confident that the changes don't affect stability.

I think you highlight a very specific problem though - the issue of votes being lost if a small improvement is made.
It's also worth mentioning that talk.maemo.org has yet to cover anything which hasn't already been discussed on maemo-developers. I suggest anyone who wants to really get involved and make this better starts reading there, and then the other threads which try to take a step back here.
I move this thread is closed, or merged into one of the many existing ones.

PS. anyone who thinks that any repackage or change to the source code can't introduce a large and horrible regression has never done any serious programming :-)

EDIT: Okay, apparently Texrat did do exactly that. (See below.) I haven't received the resulting email message though.
Anyway, the thread "Seriously! Extras-testing procedures stink" with twenty-six posts has been merged into this thread.
