I think Homebrew is established enough by now that it deserves to be
mentioned.

Given our conversation last night, I think we should firm up a listing
policy before adding Homebrew to that page. I would suggest that in
order to be listed in the primary package download pages, a package
must a) be maintained by someone on the packagers list, and b)
typically be published within the community release timetable.

Any other packages or distributions, would be listed in the "3rd Party
Distributions" section.

That will help straighten out our listing criteria, which in turn may
help with some of the other related  policies we're struggling to
define criteria for.

For practical purposes, that is me.

OK, so it's a fair assumption you'll work within the community
timetable and would therefore meet my suggested criteria. What do you
think of the policy in general?

I agree with that policy.

Sorry, this dropped off my TODO list somehow. I've pushed it now.
