Well, we have management for all the packages going to *our* site. We 
just have to do it twice to make this work...

BTW, just for reference. In the 8.1 branch, we had 8.1.5. And 8.1.11. 
And nothing in between. And look at:
http://sourceforge.net/news/?group_id=9764

and just count how many announcements aren't there.

Visibility with incorrect information?

Plus, do people actually look there for it? I'd expect most people to go 
to Google...


Now, if we could somehow make the sf.net site drive off the main sites 
RSS feeds or something automatically, that'd be a nice thing ;-) Any way 
to do that? (news + files would be the important parts)
