12 I did not ment to send this! It is mail WIP I wanted to store in draft
13 folder... anyway so let me expand here:
14
15 We need some metadata.xml tag that would allow automatic
16 stabilisations without maintainer step so we can speed up things at
17 some pace.
18 Then we need some nice page displaying results of possible
19 stabilisations, where members of Arch teams or AT guys would open up
20 new bugs where ccing the respective archs.
21
22 Apart from that I dunno what exactly ATs would strive for so Ago, or
23 anyone else please show up some ideas :-)

25 Cheers
