Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

By now those projects were 'taken over' by kickino so you can see what
the answer was.

Here's the procedure I suggest we use: assign a few project to you (I
added you to the administration group), and then send a complete
answer to several admins, as if you were directly replying to the
project submitter. tizzef proceeds that way.

Then one of the admins should reply in reasonable time and see with
you what needs to be checked.

Feel free to add any point you think would help checking the project
fast (eg. links to dependencies licenses, points that looks
suspicious, etc).
