11 Could this include documenting QA policies a bit better? Some are
12 documented in scattered docs, some are in the ebuild quiz answers (which
13 of course no two developers have the exact same answers to, and they
14 aren't anywhere you can point to for reference), and many are learned
15 when QA files a bug on a package one maintains.

17 It would be really nice to just have a list somewhere that we could
18 periodically look at and refresh our memories against. Plus, some
19 policies aren't always obvious or can be misinterpreted.

21 Don't get me wrong - the QA team is doing a great job and I love Diego's
22 work on the tinderbox. I've had a bug or two filed by them, and I've
23 found that they've only been helpful when somebody actually bothers to
24 try to resolve them.
