Have you seen the gnupload tool in gnulib? It should be possible to write a script that rsyncs from your tree and uploads the files to ftp.gnu.org. I think availability of sources (even old ones) is important so that projects can start to depend on Linux libre. If old files goes away once in a while, automated build systems (like Guix) won't use it. /Simon
