+1

Although I note that currently there isn't any formal link between
an extras upload and the associated garage project, is there?

I guess to make such a link, we'd need to specify that people add a
header to the control file of the packages that they create (or one of
the other uploaded files), to specify the garage project name.

If we did this, it would also be possible to make all the uploaded
files appear automatically on the project's download page, which would
be very nice.

Sounds a bit non-trivial, though, and I'm sure sorting out the support
for multiple revs of Maemo is more important right now.
