Now that there is the Post Release Apps Process in place and there is a big push to get new software into Ubuntu, what are the future plans for REVU?
Will there be an application review board for REVU or will it remain what it is now, hit and miss at best.
There are no plans to change REVU. It is still meant to be the way to get an application into the repos and have it stay there from release to release. The ARB is only for applications that are going in for a single already-stable release.
REVU would be less hit-or-miss if the submissions were better though :-/ Many of the packages sit there with comments saying "you need to fix foo" for months and no new uploads with those fixes happen.
I'm not aware of any immediate plans for technical changes in REVU and the new package submission process, but one significant policy change for new packages in recent times is that the primarily recommended way to get a new package into Ubuntu if you want to be the person who is responsible for it (as opposed to team maintenance) is now to do it through Debian.
