Just to clarify this, there is no policy that each package needs to have 
project (and sources) in garage? Once I have one project may I upload 
other (unrelated) packages?

I'm asking because I'd like to put scummvm [1] into extras repository 
but think that duplicating scummvm svn repository and creating project 
is not needed. It is straight recompile from upstream repository 
configured for SDL backend only with few key remapping patches. I 
already have one unrelated project (bootmenu) so I can upload (not tried 
yet).  So far was not sure about this policy. Or do you prefer many 
almost empty projects for each port? Such scummvm project can maybe host 
nice pages made by Tomas [2] or maybe few diffs to upstream version 
until there is proper maemo port but still I think it is not enough to 
satisfy garage project.
