I've made "sdd" SRPMs: one older, one newer. The newer seems pretty stable, so it might be enough to stick that one into contribs.

Somebody please let me know where / how / to whom to upload it, so it gets into contribs, or, better, please take it (recompile) and put it where it should be, and just let me know, so I can use the diskspace on the website again.

The two packages can be found at:

http://Honza.Vicherek.com/sdd-1.31-1.src.rpm
http://Honza.Vicherek.com/sdd-1.22-2.src.rpm

In case you hadn't read them, this page gives an outline of the process (scroll down to "How to contribute some packages to Cooker?"):
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3

And did you read this before packaging the RPMs? It deals with Mandrake-specific rules and methods for RPM packaging.
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/

In particular, you seem to have missed something about the package name:
"The release is a number followed by mdk (stands for "Mandrake"; this is absolutely mandatory) which is incremented at each new build of the package."
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/howtos/mdk-rpm/building.html#AEN204

So, your package should be sdd-1.31-1mdk.i586.rpm.
