Look, that's exactly my point. Authorship aside, just throwing up a platform for submitting packages accomplishes nothing without packaging guidelines. Besides, we already have that. It's called Google Code. Pinax provides a model perhaps for the manner of packaging a project, but as a whole is more cathedral than bazar. Is it the answer? I don't know. I don't know because I am not qualified to write such guidelines. I have not been using Django long enough to understand all its parts well enough, nor to propose how others should work. But I sure as hell don't want to see yet another repository canonized before the footwork is complete.
