Well, that's the issue -- we haven't designed/implemented any of the back-end
of sa-update yet. I envisioned putting the new rules and such into a tree in
the repo, tarring it up as a tar.gz file (named based on the revision number),
signing it, putting it up on the website, then updating dns.
It's a pretty simple procedure, but we just haven't actually done anything
with it yet. To be honest, sa-update hasn't really been tested off of my
laptop really.
Beyond just the "how to make an update available", is what to put into the
update. I'd like to see us do periodic rescoring, do we just put the rule in
and hand-guess a score or automate some form of hit-frequencies->score system,
etc.
I'd like to get something in place during AC.

Sure. I think "promotion" would be to copy the rule into the appropriate two
places (core and sa-update) and go from there. I just want to make sure we
come up with a reasonable policy/procedure before we move forward.
