Really? Because being the bottleneck (i.e. single point of failure) responsible for approving all addons is exactly what bureaucrats would want to do ;-) The non-bureaucratic thing to do, as has been pointed out many times of course, would be to give users the power to override the cert signing check as an advanced option.
