We're not real keen on allowing people to promote dangerous, insecure
third party things. You're welcome to contribute to the official
package, and then you're welcome to talk about it on our sites and
lists. There's no reason for that to be a separate package anyway. I'm
not saying you can't do it, you just can't use our resources to
promote it.

We've already seen how this story ends multiple times from other
similar third party packages in the past. A shocking number of people
will execute a shell script as root that they downloaded over HTTP.
The maintainer eventually stops maintaining it, bitrot takes over and
leaves people with broken systems at some point in the future. Then
it's our fault, not because they ran a script from some person on the
Internet.
