Guys, Right, that all said about rejected uploads being ephemeral, mainly to to avoid *cruft* (let aside malicious attacks) in LP and polling LP API for "accepted uploads" strategy working for now ... the whole experience is not great.
In times of dput-ng [1] for which we can create nice pre-upload hooks using LP API (permissions, version collision, quota, and so on), we could certainly do an extra effort on the LP-side to return and store an unique upload identifier that would allow us to also create post-upload hooks for inquiring/enforcing results. It might not be trivial since it will involve a mechanism to send information back from the s/ftp server, but we could possibly tweak the client transport to fetch the upload identifier from the server filesystem (or such). We will also operate on the assumption that upload email notification are good for people (inbox, ML, etc) and this initiative is not an attempt to replace them, on the other hand, the automation-front tasks could benefit a lot from a more assertive and responsive integration path.
