There is another downside to that idea.
Lets say I am one of the many small library maintainers who is actually using my own library in some other project. I discover I am missing a feature.
Today I can just add that feature to the library, publish it and immediately keep working on the other project using the published version.
With the upload queue idea I would have to work around the fact that my finished update (as far as I am concerned) is delayed before it is published, causing extra work, especially when it is not just one but potentially a chain of 3 or 4 packages each depending on the last.
