how would you do that, given packages in NEW aren't publicly accessible on purpose? Yes, I realize debian/copyright is shown on [1], but the most time consuming part of NEW processing (I guess) is to verify whether a debian/copyright file actually reflects the state being of a package. You know it's not like people write into debian/copyright "sorry, not distributable by Debian". Your idea only makes sense for packages going through mentors.d.n where you can actually access them beforehand I fear.
