Wouldn't be possible to make a cliquer package ?

Don't you think we should start by doing the same for Sage's own source
code? Anybody who proposes a patch should agree to do the
debugging/maintenance of what (s)he added for the next 5 years? Looks weird
to only have this high level of expectation for third-party code only, and
not for our own.

Hey I was just reporting on a conversation with Guido about what they
*already* do with Python.
In Sage, we are at a level where some files don't have a clear "regular
maintainer". We would need to be 10x more developpers to enforce such rules.
Indeed -- Python probably has 10x more developers... maybe someday we
will have way more developer time too. We don't now, as we are
massively under-resourced.
For 'cliquer' in particular, maybe we could propose upstream a autotoolized
build system, and see how it goes? We did it for 'planarity' not so long ago
(and perhaps with others?). Our spkg-install file indeed contains several
platform-specific instructions.
Huge +1. I'm all for Sage devs contributing upstream :-)
