What about non-maintainers? I'd be perfectly happy to try out packages
(I've used doxygen before, and ELFIO just looks neat.) I've not done
so in the past because I didn't think that my vote would be considered,
and I'm not really sure what I would need to do in order to give a
worthwhile evaluation (just install the binary package & run? Check
on install locations? Look for missing files? Run a test suite? Try
to build from source?)
If you are willing to count votes from non-maintainers, then some
guidelines for how to do an evaluation would be useful. A fairly
simple and straightforward checklist to follow would probably be
enough for most folks to work off of.
