It doesn't need to be SUID root - the way I set it up it ran from a
/etc/rc.d/init.d script so the binary itself didn't need to be SUID.

It's the lack of feedback that gets me. It's only by looking in /incoming
and checking contribs that I get to find out if my packages have been
lost. If no-one wants the things I'm packaging*, then it would be
courteous if someone told me.
* hard to believe, since I've had private requests for things I've
packaged that people think I forgot to upload 'cos they can't find them in
contribs!
