I personally like this idea.

I think these are just growing pains: learning how to work as a larger
team.  In the 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 releases, we learned to better coordinate
between the Release and Issue Managers.  Now we need to learn two new
tricks: better coordination between release manager and packagers, and
better automated quality control.

Each time we burn our fingers, we get a little bit smarter and a little
bit better...
