I'm not disagreeing with you.  I'm saying that to really to take
advantage of the policy as a maintainer and derive the most benefit
from the requirement that things sit in testing awaiting karma..I need
some help getting a heads up when things I need to be aware of hit the
testing repository so I can do my part and get ahead of potential
functional breakage...and even write test cases for it.
