yes, this is all true. you need an account on garage first. then you
need an invitation from us. you can always send a mail to
garage at maemo.org if you'd like to have the upload rights. with this
procedure we would like to ensure some level of quality, so we do some
reference checking before granting the access.

after receiving the invite and completing a simple web form you are
ready to go. what can be then more simple than using dput for uploading
packages? :)
