- the QA team could check the processing logs on a regular basis. Especially when a new Ubuntu version is released.
- Processing a submission needs ca 1 second, so we could do that during the upload request. If we provide a proper RESTful API, checkbox could get an immediate error response.
- checkbox could do a RelaxNG verification before submitting a report. If we publish the RelaxNG schema used by Launchpad to process submissions via an HTTP URL and if checkbox uses the file from this URL for verification, we can be much more sure than now that checkbox and Launchpad don't have, let's say, "communication problems".
- we should do more QA on the Launchpad side when a new checkbox version is released. (BTW, it there a way to subscribe to the event "new version of package X released"?)
