Those are good questions, Jordan, and I'm not the best-qualified to answer them. But it did occur to me that by taking this initiative I was de-facto offering to maintain the package for you, or receipt of update notifications. At least until you take it over yourself.
I'll let Chris speak for himself, but I can't see him being overjoyed at the idea of automated integration between github and JAL (svn), simply because there's a case for retaining tight control over the latter. Meanwhile there's no harm in adding manifest.ijs, demo.ijs and d3.ijt to the github collection. The fewer differences the better, I'd say. You can get the latest copies of those files by updating the graphics/d3 Addon using Package Manager. Take a look at: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Addons/Developers%20Guide and consider getting a svn password.
