Having read the article last night on /., ISTM that (as mentioned in the 
article) a simple expansion of the # of authorized package signers/pushers 
would solve 90% of those problems.  It's an infrastructure problem driven by 
lack of (authorized) manpower.  As any Fedora Core user will tell you, the 
package building/signing/pushing infrastructure is everything.
