I'm not sure the entire group of provenpackagers would like to be

provenpackagers who would be willing to query for and apply these?
Maybe a simple way to allow non-provenpackagers to highlight these
"trivial bug" patches would be via a perma-bug a-la FE-NEEDSPONSOR?
That way there is a centralized place inclined provenpackages can
check which doesn't require following a mailing list and is simple
enough even us n00bs can figure it out. :)
I presume the implementation cost is miniscule, so might at least be
worth an experiment.
So the thing that should be avoided IMO is not defining well enough how
the procedure should work, to avoid getting swamped with patches which
require additional work to apply. The requirement to fill out post a
"New Package Request" style form to the bug should allow most of the
work to be scripted, and ideally the proven packager would just need to
look at the patch, and if happy, fire the script.
So maybe such a policy could look something like this [1]. Contrarily to
what I wrote initially, I think it might actually make sense to allow
also non-packagers to file such requests, and it would provide another
way of showing off experience which will eventually lead to one getting
sponsored.
