Me! Though I'm hardly prolific.

Yup, this one.

It should be okay for the mainline. They might want to branch for shared 
testing, then "integrate" once ready to release, though.

:-) I guess you need to sync the download lib to the repository at 
regular intervals. How funky you want to get with it is up to you. I 
presume that since breakages are not currently checked, that they won't 
be for updates. It would be cool if you *could* do this, though.
