Hello,

I would really like to split up xfce4-panel-plugins into separate packages, it currently contains 33 independently developed plugins which really have nothing in common except that they are panel plugins. Due to the transition from Xfce 4.6 to 4.8 a lot of them need to be patched and it has become increasinly cumbersome to deal with. Rebuilding the whole package is a pain, the patches for a for plugin have to be rebased each time a plugin version changes, and per-subpackage customizations are difficult as well. Hence there are no good reasons to keep it that way except for the problem that 33 new packages would have to enter Factory and go through review. Since all of these packages already exist as subpackages of xfce4-panel-plugins inside Factory would there be a way to fast-track or bypass review in this case?

No, there is no real good way to bypass this. As the source was known, the scanning could go faster though. You could probably also go and sieve out unimportant plugins too?
