Release team is very involved with the flavours throughout the year
via different milestones (point releases, beta, and then final
releases) - so we have all the context we need anyway.

As for what they put in the requalification - Release team will
monitor those mails to techboard and jump in if there's anything odd
or needs further clarification.

Since it's the techboard making the final decision, I'd advise to use
the techboard mailing list. Release team members are expected to be
subscribed to it and monitor them as well.

Let me know if that sounds OK.
