Judging by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppStore/Goals plates are generally
looking quite full. Still some open questions remain and it might be
good to find some agreement on them

For now:
 - upload empty package with higher version
 - should/can this be scripted somehow, so it'll be easier
   for somebody in the review team to take care of this?
 - where do members of the review team find out the list
   of malicious apps?

Later:
 - on whose plate is this going to land?
 - will a possible script to generate empty click
   packages "just" be used on the server side and
   exposed through a button or the reviewer in the UI?

Have a great day,
 Daniel
