It's all up to the individual pkg maintainer to "do the right thing, in
their best judgment". Same pretty much applies to all your questions
here.

When a 24 hour period generates over 150 changes in bodhi, I don't
really have the time to read through each and every one to ensure that
the maintainer is doing the right thing.

Besides, I thought all Fedora maintainers were geniuses and my
bureaucracy just gets in the way?

It is also up to the pkg maintainer's sponsor to ensure that the people
one has sponsored are doing the right thing.

I just want to point out that during my life as a genius, I've seen
multiple geniuses have their lives literally saved by the bureaucracy
of lab and industrial safety procedures. I've also seen a few of them
almost die because bureaucracy wasn't in place and they were not
required to stop for a second and think ahead about consequences.

And we will bitch and moan about the absolute stupidity of those
policies, until our buddy in the lab next door decides to disable the
safety interlocks on his laser, and then we walk into the room and the
laser doesn't turn off on door entry..like it did the day before.
Those are the sort of moments were safety policies become cherished..
even if the bureaucrats never are.

The maintainer is supposed to read them, but if he already mistakenly
requested the push, he might not be able to cancel it in time. "Push to
stable" is a bit of a "big red button" you have to be careful with pushing.
There's no way rel-eng can notice all such comments, the manpower is simply
not there. (It would also need to be coordinated so the proofreaders screen
the updates right before Jesse Keating starts the push process. I don't
think this is going to happen any time soon.)

Can you "watch updates" in bodhi for a particular user they way you can
in bugzilla?

True, but at least negative karma ones could be flagged.

I'm with you and jef on this one. There is no way (other than security
updates and possibly critical bugfixes - do we need a flag for this?)
that getting an update out the door immediately is more important that
preserving the stability of the release.

I don't think so directly, but there are rss feeds that you could filter
on.
