Yes, IIRC from previous discussions (and also podcasts) each submission needs to be in the form of a tarball/zip file with a minimum set of files: font software in ttf/otf, FONTLOG (and then as much extended sources files as possible are encouraged to be included as seen fit by the uploader). The recent spam problems prove the need for appropriate moderation and review steps to be in place otherwise we get easily spammed and the library sadly turns into a junkyard... :-( (not to say that you can't find gems in a junkyard but well it's much harder... and not everyone likes to do it...)
