Just to be clear, if there is a layer out in the public, I do try and
take a look and flag anything that makes it look like it doesn't comply.
It isn't a 100% in depth review but enough to check people are in the
spirit of the criteria. 

Some layers are not public and as such I never get to see them. We tend
to proceed on the basis that the particular organisation has done the
checks to answer the questions and that they will be honest. If I've
never seen a patch from them, that would raise questions for example.

If there ever were concerns something had the status and shouldn't have,
I'd get involved and figure out a way to resolve the issue.

It isn't as tight a process as some would like, equally I think it has
seemed to serve the needs of what we need quite well so far, flagging
real issues and giving a real world compatibility of layers.

Cheers,

Richard
